I’d argue that a lot of those voters were casually bigoted and perhaps blind to it: the kind who would agree that “little short guys that wear yarmulkes every day” are better with money than African-Americans, or who think that all 12-year-old African-American boys who like to play basketball have a strong chance of playing in the NBA (imagine the kind of privileged and blinkered fool who’d believe that).
