I am not entirely sure how I could provide evidence of internalized racism, so sure that’s more vibes based on my end. I am just saying that I do not think that “more POC voted for Trump so it couldn’t be racism!” is the slam dunk that you think it is.

I don’t think polls are useful at all if the questions involve anything embarrassing. If a pollster asked “why did you vote for Trump” almost no one is going to say “because I don’t like brown people”, especially when it’s trivial to come up with some contrived reasoning about the economy (even when it doesn’t make any sense).
