There were a total approximately 122 million votes cast for Clinton and Trump out of around 135 million total votes cast.

Assuming the "race" of voters reflects the U S Population we get the following.

White voters 86,000,000
Black Voters 16,500,000
Hispanic Voters 22,000,000
Asian Voters 6,300,000
Other Voters 4,200,000

If the % of "racists" in the various "races" is equal and we assume that percentage to be 5%, and we further assume all white racists voted for Trump and all non white racists voted for Clinton we get

White racists 2,500,000

Black racists 725,000
Hispanic racists 715,000
Asian racists 200,000
Other racists 100,000

Total non white racists 1,750,000

I question the assumption the racist distribution is equal in each "race". The entire discussion is really pointless and really, dishonest.

I am not even sure it is possible to define "race". I had my DNA tested and apparently I have some "Asian" ancestry. Should I self identify as Asian?

Also I have a relatively high percentage of Neanderthal ancestry compared to the general population which I expect you could think is reflects my political orientation. Given that circumstance I am considering self-identifying my race as Neanderthal in the future.
