- I didn’t read this post itself as an attack on white women; the quote is certainly attacking them for supporting Trump.
- It is not racist per se (by any definition I know of) to attribute a behavior or characteristic to a particular race / ethnic group as long as the attribution is valid and as long as it’s not used to demean that group or represent them as inferior. For example it is not racist to state that 97% of Black women voted for Clinton in the 2016 general election. But, by way of contrast, when some (not all — not many in fact) Sanders supporters claimed that South Carolina Black voters chose Clinton over Trump in the primary because Black voters didn’t understand the issues, they were being racist. I don’t believe the quote itself or the article in general is racist (or sexist). Of course, this is an opinion, but it’s consistent with my definition of racism / sexism.
