If I'm reading kentay's chart correctly, Gallup estimated the GOP to be 11% non-white.  I wonder why he makes so much stuff up!

This is back in 2009 which after the 2010 election it more likely less people of color today, with all the Tea baggers being added to your most white party. How many total years has your party had this kind of statistics of its rank and file Republicans, maybe more than 40. I have seen no major outreach by your party and if you don't reach out soon your party will go the way of other minority parties, into the dust bin of history.    kentay

Not Afraid to Talk About Race





That might explain why the Pew poll found that the swing voters lean more toward Obama voters on issues like civil liberties and the role of labor unions, but are closer to Romney voters on the role of social safety nets, immigration and minority-preference programs.
