Reply #51: Same thing happens with gender

[bain_sidhe]

when a majority of women vote for a woman, it's "identity politics" or "bloc voting" but when a majority of men vote for a man, that's just normal. :eyes:

I know what you're getting at, though, and it all comes down to the "out" (of power) group (whether that's race or gender) being considered "abnormal" for voting for the candidate that is him-or-herself considered "abnormal" (i.e., not a white male).
