3. Unfortunately, skin color and last names (usually Latino\a)

gives the conservative and apathetic voter the cover needed to justify their positions. I have stated on more than one occasion that it is what is between the ears that determines my vote for or against someone.

Sadly too many people equate people of color as being automatically progressives in political thought.

Case in point: Clarence Thomas
