20. If I were a POC

I would be pretty offended at the insinuation you're making here that, somehow, POC are just naturally destined for prison. While I certainly accept that there is an unfair rate of incarceration for POC.

And, that one issue aside, POC themselves have stated on this site numerous times that they are not one-issue candidates. There are many reasons for POC to support Hillary Clinton. Heck, a POC who owns a corporation and is anti-abortion might even choose a Republican candidate. Why is it that any group of people must somehow have a template for who they should vote for. It's so condescending and trivializing, not only of POC as a whole, but of the individual who may identify with any number of different policy positions.
