Over Fernando Ferrer when they competed against each other?

Do me a favor, Obama supporters, who I know are mostly white DU'ers--yes, DU'ers are overwhelmingly white according to demographics polls seen around here. Stop generalizing about a whole ethnic group calling it racist because they choose a candidate over the other.

Deval Patrick received more support from Hispanics than blacks in Massachussets.

Quit the stereotyping.

4. It's a horrible thing to stereotype.

I think the term "stereotype" (in my personal, private, emotional dictionary) means: using some characteristic, behavior, opinion, habit, more or tendency of a group which can be construed as not fitting into the culture where the group resides, being odd, or being negative, then blowing it up, and using it against the group possessing it.

So, stereotypes sometimes do actually use real, not imaginary, characteristics, behaviors, opinions, habits, etc., only these are used in a negative way so the group can be attacked for it.

Am I wrong? If I'm wrong, please feel free correct me.

5. where have you seen Duers suggesting that hispanics are racists

I haven't seen it. Post a link or STFU and stop shit stirring, dear. Whatever else it is that is not a widespread sentiment of Obama supporters. I've been around a little longer than you have and I've NEVER seen a DUer say that.

And for that matter it was Clinton's pollster in NV who said that hispanics don't vote for blacks, or did you miss that.

Welcome to DU. I hope you'll stop making unfounded accusations.

6. If you'll notice

there is one particular Hillary supporter who keeps posting threads on how Latinos vote overwhelmingly for Hillary. I agree with you. I don't think Latinos vote as a block but this one particular Hillary supporter does and he seems to take delight in posting threads stating 74% of latinos support Hillary, etc. It is disgusting.
