Ironically, my understanding is they're also the most likely to vote against minimum wages, social security, universal health care, Pell Grants and so on, and to have bought into specious arguments about meritocracies.

Hat tip to this book[0] "issues of race point to underlying problems in society that ultimately affect everyone, not just minorities".
