I bvelieve I accused no one of being racist (none / 0) (#6)

or sexist.

A-As are not racist for voting for Obama by 4-1.

Women are not sexist for voting for Clinton by close to 3-2.

Men are not sexist for voting for Obama by even greater margins.

I didn't mean you, BTD (5.00 / 3) (#7)

I meant the folks you usually criticize.

I mean the folks who generate the conventional wisdom in the cases I've described above. When given a choice of options to explain something: perhaps the NH polling was off, maybe Ohio voters are more tuned in to economic concerns, maybe Hillary Clinton isn't running a race-baiting campaign after all, a lot of folks rush right by these and assume that it's due to subtle racism on the part of a large chunk of voters.

it is the prism of race used to reiterate a well worn path that seems a little over baked.

i agree with your take and response, but to what end?  as you say, it really isn't news.
