In a modern world where Indiana voted for Obama and where brown people of all shades are now flocking to Trump, I don’t think there’s any hard evidence for this tired (and by definition unfalsifiable) line and I think that throwing it around casually is now serving mostly to make the left toxic, both in the USA and here in Europe. That’s my view.
On the rest, sure. Mastering the media narrative is as important as ever.

If you want to make the argument that “there are no racists” in America, that is a starkly uphill claim to make.
I acknowledge a huge number of voters are not like that. Which is why I talked about them first and regarded Others as being racist. Which is true.
