It's pretty easy to notice how Barack Obama wins overwhelmingly among black people, and Hillary Clinton wins comfortably among women.
I hate this, and I can tell you why:
A good tool to sniff out prejudice is to flip the target group to the most notable group that would fit. Something like, say, "Kill all the hispanics" is racist, because "Kill all the blacks" is also. "Goddamn Muslims" becomes "Goddamn Jews" "Men are idiots" becomes "Women are idiots", etc. (You may have to change the content of the sentence a bit to make sense.)
Using this, we can do a little rearranging of the the statements "I vote for Obama because he's black" and "I vote for Clinton because she's a woman." and come up with:
"I vote for Clinton because she's white" and
"I vote for Obama because he's a man".
These are obvious bigoted trash.
It follows that the original two statements are as much trash as these are.
Please, let's keep race and gender out of this race, ok? I don't care who you vote for as long as you vote for them based on their ideas rather then their biology.
