You’re overcomplicating it.

I suspect that you’re assigning too much value/influence to ethnicity :p

/of course I’m on the outside, so my view is pretty different.

I get what you are saying and I am not arguing with you.

I do however think that it is equally false to discount cultural heritage or ethnicity when discussing politics. The different groups have historical and cultural reasons for their outlooks.

You would not expect poling results from an Irish Catholic part of Boston to always be the same as those found in a Black community from Louisiana on all issues.

Now of course people are individuals and there will always be those who stand out from their backgrounds, whatever they may be.

Of course that is true.

Wingnut Jews are a great example of that.
