"In multiracial societies, you don't vote in accordance with your economic interests and social interests, you vote in accordance with race and religion."
----Lee Kuan Yew, first PM of Singapore
longeyes is guilty of describing the reality of voting patterns. Come to an American city with large minority components and see it in action: minorities will mostly vote for their guy, no matter how corrupt or (in the case of Jesse Jackson jr.) how absent, crazy, or indicted. Minority community activists will rail at the prevalence of liquor stores & slum lords, but they line up to vote for the city councilcritters that approve their operating licenses and deride the goody-two-shoes white reformers who come in to clean up gov't.
That is the way it is and one reason why a multi-cultural polity will soon become antagonistic to liberty and limited gov't.
Now, like any behavior pattern, it is not 100%(1), as there are outliers and deviants in any subculture.
