Race is meaningless
Who cares what race people belong to?
Oh that’s right, racists do.
I'm curious, how does it feel to know the majority of both Democrats and Republicans is white people. Probably because they are 70+ % of the USA population. The middle age/class/male thing you decided on your own.

Perhaps you are just seeing what you want to see?
As a Native American woman who is leaning conservative lately, I look to the Democratic party primary runners and I see...
Biden... old white rich guy.
Warren... old white rich woman.
Sanders... old white rich guy.
Bloomberg... old white amazingly rich guy.
In fact, the Democratic possible voters have so far managed to get rid of anyone of color.
Maybe it's just a politics thing?

Yes, the majority of the United States is white. However, your second point is false.
Only 8% of black voters supported Trump in the last election. What is your reaction to that? Goodness, you guys, I'm not just making this up! I've literally seen maybe one conservative actually respond to the question.

One supported social programs and more welfare handouts while the other supported job growth.
Make sense now? Welfare vs jobs
Seems reasonable...
Dont tell that to white folks in South Africa lmao!
Hell for that matter the Irish early immigrants in America might have something to say about that...pretty sure my ancestors were treated worse than black slaves back then.
There is, however, the social phenomenon of race. This is what oppresses minorities.

I would say you are blind. So would my 1st generation brown immigrant wife. When a black person becomes a Democrat they face being ostracized and hated by other black people. That makes it difficult for them to cross those lines. Democrats and black people are the ones drawing those lines, not Republicans.
I think the more focused on race one is the more effect it will have on them. I there are literally millions of minorities who do very well in life and rarely if ever have to consider race or issues from it in their life.
