I don't think any of of us are surprised of the anti-black and anti-Latino coalitions that make up the Tea Party movement. But now, we have data to back up what many of us already suspected.

Chris Parker, professor at the University of Washington, has just finished a new study on race and politics, looking at the country following the election of Barack Obama. Here's the main citation, though you should definitely check out the link to the survey press release, which contains important information about the sample.

It'd be nice if these findings get some media attention, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
