On the racism charge, it looks like a greater number of Hispanics voted Republican this year than in 2012. Despite GOP policies on immigration and voter ID being pushed hard by the media this year.
http://www.pewhispanic.org/2014/11/07/hispanic-voters-in-the-2014-election/ - 30% Latinos voted GOP in 2012, 38% in 2014 (the largest swing on a racial basis, but Republicans increased their share of both the black and white votes, too).
In Texas, some congressional candidates saw Hispanic support up in the 40% range, and Greg Abbott received 44% of Hispanic vote (50% male).
Across all races, other trends also stick. So men and older are more likely to vote Republican than women and younger, no matter what the race.
