(525 posts)is well aware of these demographic statistics and they specifically target and appeal to white anxieties about non-whites, be it blacks, Latinos, Asians or Middle Easterners. The Democratic Party since Franklin Roosevelt has attempted to be a party of inclusion. That is why southern white Democrats left the Democratic Party (Dixiecrats).
