I don’t think it’s simply a race issue. It’s more about urban versus rural. Look at just about any US election map and it’s a sea of red with a couple of big blue sprinkles where all the major cities are. Minorities are heavily concentrated in the cities.

Also, people of nearly all demographics become more conservative as they age. This makes sense, because the more you have, the more you want to maintain and protect your current way of life. Those who are young and/or poor are much more interested in pursuing changes to the system as they have less to lose and everything to gain.
