I personally HATE all of this race talk. I'm Black/Latino and hate all of this analysis so focused on race. Yes, it has to be brought up to show the changing demographics of America, but I don't like articles I see today entitled "Its the end of the world as straight white males know it". Not all straight white males voted for Romney. Yes, they overwhelmingly went for him in a number not seen since 1988, but I want us to get to a point where we just talk in terms of simply Democrats and Republicans, regardless of race. Again, I know we have to break down these things so that each side knows who they need to target, but all of the race talk just makes me uncomfortable.
