An interesting personal observation on White and Hispanic racists in this election

You know what the big difference is between these two groups, at least by my observations?

Whites who are racist, regardless of party, will vote against Obama and for McCain. These are the crazy guys you see wearing the t-shirts "Vote McCain not Hussein".

But aside from older Cuban-Americans who are still pretty much hard-core Republicans, most Hispanic citizens who happen to have racist views towards blacks (los morenos) are still going to vote for Obama, believe it or not. I know more than a few Hispanics, I'm sorry to say, who are prejudiced against blacks, and they make derogatory statements about them all the time, yet they seem to have divorced their personal racist views from their very pragmatic political and economic considerations, in no small part due to a very deep fear and intense dislike for the Republicans and their policies.
