Voting rates based on race among eligible voters in 2000 general election:

White - non Hispanic: 62%
Black: 56%
Asian: 43%
Hispanic: 45%

Those numbers are based only on citizens. Whites could become outnumbered in the US but with a large portion not citizens. These are the voting rates just according to population. These are relevent because you initial talked about there being more people from minority groups in the future than white people. That has little to do with citizenship.

White: 60%
Black: 53%
Asian: 25%
Hispanic: 27%


It's pretty cut and dry. Minorities have lower turnout rates in both cases. Please explain to me why I'm racist for pointing this out.

So #### you for calling me a racist and get off your moral high horse. That's not a word you should be throwing around like that.

You can come up with all the reasons and/or conspiracy theories you want to explain those numbers, I don't really care, but don't call me a racist for pointing out a fact.
