> calling out a specific race, besides a specific gender, seems really messed up
One of the bright notes of the last few elections has been the racial depolarisation of politics in America.
That said, we’re not in the endgame. You can still predict partisan (and subpartisan) affiliation by race plus one or two factors. Which is why we poll on that basis. In this case, there is one demographic that provides MAGA economic policies with oxygen. It falls along a specific race, gender and education axis—I don’t think it’s inappropriate to comment on that.
> just swapping the races you don't like doesn't make you not a racist
Sure. I don’t see how pointing out what a specific demographic did (qualified with a partisan lens) is derogatory.
