13. But whites and blacks didn't vote for him. Isn't that prima facie evidence of racism?

Edited on Fri Apr-25-08 08:04 PM by jackson_dem

I believe his peak was 12% in Iowa and New Hampshire polling. That means 88%, even at his high water mark, in those states would not vote for a Latino. In SC he did even worse with whites and didn't even register with blacks. Is this not prima facia evidence of racism? These voters all had no problem casting votes for non-Latino candidats.
