I asked why he thought this. He said because most of the US is racist. That's why more people voted for him. I then asked him would if he thought the US is made up of mostly white or black. He said white and I agreed. I then proceeded to tell him that in 2008 and 2012 Obama won the Electoral vote and Popular vote. Asked him was that racist? Didn't have an answer.
Race is an issue in this country but it is learned behavior.

Ask him about the Latino voter turnout? He smoked Romney in Arizona with Latinos 31% to 25%.

Really? So if aliens suddenly landed in the US they wouldn't observe a difference between how the average white person and the average black person behaves?

Wow! You should have asked him if his assertion was inclusive of self-assessment.

Then if you want to really rock his world, show him this:

You need to explain to him the difference between being racist and being ethnocentric. A lot of the idiots keep harping on Trump being racist, but that's not even an accurate thing to label him using the commentary that usually comes along with it.

And I really wouldn't call him ethnocentric either. But if we're going to tag him, let's at least keep it accurate.
