Nate Silver: Are White Republicans More Racist Than White Democrats?

[Johonny]

21. For things down in the lunatic fringe of statistics 20%, but notice once $$ enters the dicussion

the two stats involving money there is a 20 % difference in the parties. Also note that the Republican voter base is 87% white the Democratic voter is currently around 61 % according to Pew. So that 20 % difference represents a lot more people. What the stats tell you is most people don't openly answer yes to dog whistle racism anymore and really haven't since 1990s. But subtle racism like socioeconomic disadvantages... they clearly do. Once again if you couched the questions with more acceptable language used by the RW you wonder what the polls would have been? IDK but my guess based on the data is about 20% different. Are there racist Democrats... well yes.

I simply argue as most people these days know the language of racism has changed over the last 40 years and this is not addressed in the survey although the survey reveals interestingly that my statement likely has some truth.
