Mostly missing the point here. Yes some minorities also voted against health care, but the overwhelming majority of votes comes from white conservatives and the victims are proportionally higher minorities. Most of these voters claim they’re not racists but the results are a great example of systemic racism.

The point is that "Americans" is a net that encompasses a lot of people, so generalizing like you're doing is a hot garbage shortcut that smacks of the exact kind of xenophobic behavior you're railing against.

I'm pretty sure even the white population are in favor of socialized healthcare. It's just that the insurance companies spend a crap on of money lobbying our politicians to make sure it remains private so they can squeeze out every single penny from us. Oh. And other companies in general to make sure you don't switch job easily

No they aren't especially if you combine 40+ or men with that statement.
