"the part equals the whole" trope; but how does one "diversity is a disease" sign paint a bunch of people with the racism brush? It *is* possible to have distaste for Obama's presidency irrespective of his skin color.

It IS possible but as the faces at townhalls, teabagger parties and conservative protest rallies suggest it isn't very common.

Obama got like 95% of the African American vote, 67% of the Hispanic vote, and 62% of the Asian vote, but only 43% of the White Vote? So, why wouldn't one expect most of the people at these rallies to be White? Either way, demographic similarity does not racism make. I'm sure we all agree on that.
