    I could see the race thing being more true for the politicians but even then I think it’s less of a thing than most people on Lemmy think.

    If we stop to think about it a moment I think that becomes clear.

    Do we think Ted Cruz would rather have a black Republican neighbor or a white Democrat? I truly think he’d rather have a black Republican neighbor. I believe the same is true for everyone I grew up with in Texas.

    IF we accept that (big if, admittedly) it can’t be a race thing. It would have to extend to a cultural thing.
