Antipathy to people who aren't like them...Is this a polite way of saying racist?
Nah, as my redneck friend goes "I hate black people, I hate brown people, I hate red people, I hate yellow people, and I most certainly hate white people".

This sort of thing was bound to happen sometime with Obama's campaign. The US is too culturally diverse for one person to relate and understand them all.
