Minorities Don't Vote Ethnicity or Race?

Arroyo's comment shows a misguided view of voters. In September 2011 the Boston Business Journal announced

http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/print-edition/2011/09/09/the-face-of-boston-a.html?page=all

that Boston had joined Newark, Baltimore and Atlanta as majority minority cities. There are more non white people than white people in Boston. To suggest that ethnicity and race no longer matter now that minorities are the majority is self serving nonsense. It also suggests that non White people are superior to Whites because they do not focus on race and ethnicity. That too is self serving nonsense. People are people, White, Black, Hispanic, etc. Some vote for names, some for issues, and some for ethnicity and race. Get used to it. Black voters went 90 percent for Obama. On Issues?

[From article]
"The city of Boston proved once again that they look past race when they're looking at a candidate," Arroyo says. "The focus is on the issues and what we are doing for the city."

That's not to say race, neighborhood, and ethnicity don't matter in Boston any more. But it does mean that pols who rely on those factors are at a fatal disadvantage,"
