Clinton’s ‘Deplorables’

Last month, Hillary Clinton claimed that half of Donald Trump’s supporters could be characterized as either racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, or Islamaphobic. Mrs. Clinton said that her estimation was “grossly generalistic” beforehand. However, an opinion poll conducted by Reuters/Ipsos that interviewed 16,000 Americans suggests that her comment might not be completely far-fetched. 

According to the survey, roughly half of Trump’s supporters described blacks as more “violent” than whites. In addition, around 40 percent of Trump’s supporters described blacks as “lazier” than whites, and about 30 percent viewed blacks as less “intelligent” than whites.

If these results accurately represent America’s voting population, then it may be tempting for Mrs. Clinton and her supporters to feel morally superior to Trump supporters. But the poll also indicates that Clinton supporters are not free of racial bias against blacks. For example, over 30 percent of Clinton supporters surveyed characterized blacks as more “violent” than whites. Also, about 25 percent described blacks as “lazier” than whites, and approximately 20 percent viewed blacks as less “intelligent” than whites.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll tells us that racist views are not limited to one political party. I applaud Mrs. Clinton’s effort to confront racism in America publicly. She should stand against prejudice wherever it exists, even if it is within her base of supporters. Otherwise, what appears to be a moral position on a serious issue may be nothing more than political grandstanding.
