I think it's interesting how many posters here seem to get defensive when their "group" doesn't represent them as much as they'd like.

It says NOTHING about them as an individual.

Maybe I'm just more accustomed to it as a white male? I'm certainly not going to "identify" with them based on their general voting patterns.
