It is hard to find a single white demographic that did not come up with a Trump majority (white college graduated women some up with a 51% for Hillary, a small margin indeed) and there is not a single non-white demographic that came up with a Trump majority or came anywhere near it.
I encourage you to look through those exit poll results for yourself. CNN has extensive and well-researched exit polls and the difference in the numbers is far too big to be explained away by a margin of error.
Statistically the strongest defining feature of the Trump supporter is whiteness.
Does this mean the majority of white people actively hate people of color and voted for Trump because they wanted a racist in charge? No. That’s not how white supremacy works.
What it does mean it that, as a result of white supremacy, a LOT of white people who consider themselves ‘not racist’, ignored Trump’s racism and voted for him anyway. A lot of white people did not care about people of color enough to not vote for Trump.
That’s white surpemacy’s biggest feature: apathy to the point of allowing people to die because you can’t be bothered to keep them safe.
Maybe also add in the stats on Jewish and Roman voters? I know we’re a smaller portion of the population, but just because we’re conditionally white passing doesn’t mean we vote white.
I remember reading in an article that Jewish voters indeed voted with a large Hillary majority and are historically almost always much closer to voters of color in their voting behavior than to white voters. Didn’t see articles on Roman voters but it definitely makes sense that it’d be similar there.
The CNN exit poll I used doesn’t provide statistics on that though. 😦
