I agree the 75% needs to be remembered. Even though the 25% is more than double the national average of 11 (which in itself is a bit worrisome), it’s not evidence that the group is necessarily dominated by racists. I wouldn’t obsess over the race issue with them, but I’d keep a very close eye out for it.It takes some of the zing out of it, but not a lot. The findings are simply not that surprising.
Do the “more wealthy and more educated” findings take some of the zing out of GOP taunts of Dems/Liberals as ivory tower elitists? Or is there statistical reason to believe anyone involved in ANY political movement/organization has more money and education than those who don’t participate? I’d guess there would be.
