| SamuelRSmith said: So I was just wondering why nobody cares about this? I figure if a Democrat had just achieved that, the media would be going ballistic right now. Not only did Cruz win, he won with more votes than any Republican has ever received in the Iowa caucus. A close third, Marco Rubio, is also Hispanic (and he's the current bookie's favourite to win), and a black man came fourth. Between the three of them, they account for about 60% of the vote total. Yet Republicans are racist, right? Or has that meme finished, and they're sexist now? You know, because Hillary's running. |
Republicans and racism or sexism is like Islam and terrorism.
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but most terrorists are Muslim, at this moment in history (30 years ago, I'd be saying this about the Irish). By that same token, not all Republicans are sexist or racist, but most racists and sexists are Republican.
Some principles of American liberalism are acceptance of other cultures and being pro women's rights. Most people against those lean conservative, and thus, Republican. But not all Republicans subscribe to that.
