— Ace Now, let me clarify on that: The difference is statistically insignificant. 10% of liberals hail from mixed race families, and 11% of conservatives. You can't make anything of that difference (though MSNBC would, were the numbers to run in the opposite direction).
So let's take the percentages as equal. (Except, not really.) Does MSNBC care about the facts, or just spouting off ignorantly with some make-'em-up blogger provocation?
Spoiler Alert: It's the last one.
Not surprisingly, there is no statistically significant left-right political differences in the proportion of adopted or step-families that are in mixed race households. Indeed, among families with step-children or adopted children, 11 percent of conservatives were living in mixed race households compared to 10 percent of liberals living in mixed-race households.Similarly, 9.4 percent of Republicans living in step- or adopted families were in mixed-race households, compared to only 8.8 percent of Democrats in such families. (Again, this small advantage for Republicans is not large enough to be statistically significant).
If one breaks things down further by both party and political orientation, only 7.7 percent of liberal Democrats and 3.6 percent of moderate Democrats lived in mixed-race adopted or step-households, compared to an insignificantly different 10.6 percent of conservative Republicans.
Volokh also links the rightwing gun nuts at Reason, specifically Matt Welch, who asks the question: Is it not bigoted to constantly claim a deep moral fault among a large swath of people based only upon their race?
Spoiler alert: Yes.
But making broad and essentially pejorative generalizations about giant swaths of non-Democrats is hardly the exclusive domain of the racist-chasers at MSNBC and Salon.com. Journalistic outlets at the highest levels have been making non-jokey versions of the same accusation throughout the Obama presidency, ever since the twin ascension in 2009 of the Tea Party and opposition to the Affordable Care Act.For an example, check out this passage in New Yorker Editor David Remnick's extraordinarily long and often insightful recent profile of the president.
In the electoral realm, ironically, the country may be more racially divided than it has been in a generation. Obama lost among white voters in 2012 by a margin greater than any victor in American history. The popular opposition to the Administration comes largely from older whites who feel threatened, underemployed, overlooked, and disdained in a globalized economy and in an increasingly diverse country. Obama's drop in the polls in 2013 was especially grave among white voters.Where's that confounded bridge? Italics mine [bolding mine-- ace], to underscore what one of the nation's most decorated journalists felt zero need to substantiate in a 16,000-word article. Do older white voters really feel more "threatened" and "disdained" by a "globalized economy" and "increasingly diverse country" than other age and ethnic/pigmentation cohorts? I'm sure there's plenty of interesting poll data out there, but Remnick (a 55-year-old white guy, FWIW) doesn't need to cite any: He knows it's true, his readers know it's true, and the only real question is how much you can respectably pin opposition to this twice-elected black president on racism.
Imagine the MSM describing any non-white population as chiefly animated by fear and other insalubrious traits.
Here's how bigotry works: You don't know many (or any) members of a group you have antipathy towards. Because you know nothing about them, you view them as The Other, and, untainted by fact or personal experience, you can imagine them as wholly alien, foreign, and, of course, evil and inhuman.
The left understands this -- they often discuss "Otherizing" a group -- and yet they do not apply this to their own thinking. In their minds, only The Other can be guilty of viewing others as The Other. The left, with all their ignorance, hatred, and stupid crude bigotries, cannot be so guilty.
The left generally exercises their imagination to find new ways of demonizing those who do not like socialism and communism. Every once in a while, their fevered minds come up with some interesting insight into human behavior and psychology (such as the tendency of people to view those unlike them as "The Other").
But because the entire point of this exertion of mind was simply to come up with exciting new ways to demonize one's political opponents, they fail utterly to take the insight seriously and examine their own thinking for defects.
And so the stumble on, crude-minded, without self awareness or self examination, bitter, hateful, and unredeemed.

There's no "feel" about it. Older whites, especially males, ARE underemployed, overlooked and disdained. Damn right they feel threatened, because they are threatened. Where the author is pulling information out of his ass is when it comes to where older whites are putting their blame. It's got jack shit to do with an "increasingly diverse country" and everything to do with gubmint jagoffs using the power of their office to shower their favored interest groups with funds, praise and attention. Older whites hate the GOVERNMENT.

Take the moderate democrat number out, and just compare liberal democrats to conservative republicans, and then we can talk about statistical significance.

Just need to look at the difference in the Gallup poll on moral acceptability of some things, taken in 2012, which you've previously referenced (it's at http://bit.ly/1bMXfEo): for Birth Control, 90% of Dems and 87% of Reps said BC was "morally acceptable". This was blown into "binders full of women and birth control". Yet in the same poll, abortion was morally acceptable to 22% of Reps and 52% of Dems. Crickets.

Of course conservatives are more likely to have mixed-race spouses or adopted children. The FSA doesn't get married and they're definitely not adopting any crumb snatchers.

Proggs can also imagine them as kind, generous, noble, brilliant--everything a progg imagines themselves to be--while ignoring their actual words and deeds that may prove otherwise (I'm thinking specifically of Islamic terrorism, and white American proggs insisting that they don't really want to kill infidels for the glory of Allah, that's just an expression.)

I don't think the Volokh/WaPo relationship is going to last long. I have a sneaking suspicion that WaPo thought that the Volokh guys would post things and then get "OMG Pwnd!!!" by their (WaPo's) liberal readers.
Since that isn't happening, I bet that in relatively short order, WaPo has a "realignment of prioritization" and cancels the agreement.

To which Nancy Pelosi responded: “It’s not my responsibility.”

“Do we have a foundational problem? Is there a corruption in the system that needs to be addressed?” Stewart asked. Pelosi went on to detail the issues with bureaucracy and the failure of departments to communicate with each other. “Okay, do something about it,” Pelosi said.

It's not just about demonizing the right.
Part of this burning need to attribute "hate" to the right is that it also fluffs up their own belief in themselves as being more tolerant and enlightened.
It's like how a story need a bad guy in order for the hero to demonstrate his superiority. They *need* the right to be close-minded bigots in order to prove to themselves that they really are awesome people themselves.
This is why there is so much rage when the Right = Haterz narrative is destroyed. If the right isn't bad then it destroys their own myth of being better. So it gets personal, hence the rage and obsessive need to maintain the narrative.

Indeed, among families with step-children or adopted children...
This has been bothering me since it was first linked this morning. The stats are not about mixed race households; they are about "blended families" via adoption and marriage of people who are already parents.
As long as we're going to pride ourselves on data lets make sure we label it correctly.

I am to an extent. Had a strange experience last evening. Was talking to a woman that was a leftist through and through, voting twice for Dear Leader, supported the occupy movement, the works.
And then last evening. She's now with a network of Texans and Oklahomans trying to get a Ted Cruz for president website and petition going. She bought a .357 revolver and is learning how to shoot. And she wants to get rid of her sensible, politically correct car and get a large SUV. I don't know what happened, but I was smiling through the whole conversation.

Good gawd, this all strikes me as terribly nitpicky. I'm so sick of this race crap, I swear I could vomit. Why does the Left get to foment this ridiculous racist canard...and we let them by incessantly talking about it, fine pointing and splitting hairs about it. In all of my 50 years, I've never been marinated in race like I'm being forced to today. I'm sick of being on the defensive for an issue that just has no proof. Shouldn't we be redirecting the conversation back to the economy or the healthcare fiasco, or the failing education system? There has to be a way to learn how to play the game, 'cause we sure don't do it very well.

It's not hard to see why libs are such stealth racists - their entire ideology depends on "the down trodden" who need championing. Any reduction in the number of "the down trodden" represents a reduction in constituents.
The secret to liberalism (leftism) is to pander without actual solutions for the problems of "the down trodden".
Expanding the lower class for leftists represents success for their ideology.

Never going to dissuade them, based on that.
So just call them out as ass sucking shitwipes, or any other epithet of your choice and disregard them unless it is to mock them.
And make sure, when you do, that there is an audience there to witness.
