A new Pew Research poll finds Democrats deeply racially divided over their presidential nomination going to a 78-year-old white man.
“(A)fter a primary campaign that saw the most diverse group of candidates in the party’s history – including six women, several black, Hispanic and Asian candidates and the first openly gay contender – 41% of Democratic registered voters say they are bothered that the likely Democratic nominee for the 2020 election is a white man in his 70s,” Pew reports.
But the split isn’t where most people would expect.
Among black Democrats, only 28 percent report feeling bothered by Biden’s race and age. Among Hispanic Democrats, the figure is statistically the same, at 30 percent.
But white Democrats are almost twice as likely as black and Hispanic Democrats to be offended by the fact Biden is white.
Among white Democrats, 49 percent say they are bothered by Biden being a white man his 70s, while 51 percent say they are not bothered.
Those most likely to be offended by Biden’s race are young white liberals with college degrees.
Those least likely to be offended by Biden’s race are older, black, and have a high school education.
“Democratic voters who are bothered that the likely nominee is an older white man are more liberal, more educated, younger and more likely to be white than those who are not bothered, according to the survey, which was conducted just after Bernie Sanders suspended his presidential campaign,” Pew reports.
“Democratic voters with a postgraduate degree are the only educational group in which a majority (58%) say they are bothered the likely Democratic nominee is a white man in his 70s. In contrast, 76% of those with no college experience and 59% of those with some college experience are not bothered by this,” Pew continues.
Interestingly, those most likely to say they are offended by Biden being older and white largely supported white candidates like Pete Buttigieg or Elizabeth Warren, instead of young black candidates like Cory Booker and Kamala Harris or young Hispanic candidates like Joaquin Castro.
“Voters who preferred Sen. Elizabeth Warren are particularly likely to hold this view: Nearly three-quarters (73%) say this, as do 57% of those who backed Pete Buttigieg and 52% of those who supported other candidates at the beginning of the year,” Pew finds.
While 73 percent of Elizabeth Warren supporters say they are offended Biden is a white man in his 70s, Warren is a 70-year-old white woman.
That indicates that while young, white liberals are more likely to publicly declare their willingness to be offended on behalf of minorities, they won’t actually support minority candidates.

This shows that the majority of Democrats today are fake, white liberals who are racist, but try to pretend that they have white guilt and favor minorities over other whites. However, they are nothing but hypocritical elitists who only favor their own kind. Other hypocritical elitists.
That is correct. Total hypocrites.
I totally Agree
what other reason they didn’t support the blacks, the female or the Asian guy ? Nothing but hypocrites, said in 2016 they didn’t want GOD or white men running the party. A senile sniffer and Satan is a much better choice. Good luck….your gonna need it (& voter fraud)
And the only ppl ‘shocked’ are other white fakers, who’ve embraced ‘PC’ as their ‘new’ morality…cus they’re morally-bankrupt?
Where is the poll on how Americans are offended by the fact that the Democrat candidate for President is suffering from senility? Surely there must be a large percentage of Americans who realize that Biden isn’t mentally qualified to be President.
Personally I’m more concerned about the cognitive decline exhibited by Biden and the fact that he isn’t mentally qualified to be President than I am about his race.
I think the Democratic Party has chosen a candidate that will do the bidding of the Party and it’s financial sources. Anyone with a mind of their own might have ideas of their own. Have you notices both Clinton and Biden promise to further the agenda that Barack Obama was working on? They never promised to bring anything new to the table. I’ve been wondering if Biden were elected, he would be the public face of an Obama 3rd term. There’s a reason the Obama’s did not retire to Illinois at the end of his term; rather choosing to purchase a new estate 3 blocks from the White House.
I know Obama’s bought a home on the East coast worth $14 million think it was. Michelle commented she has no plans for politics and she stated she writes books now. Obama is on the lecture tour. I think just maybe since Hillary volunteered to assist Biden she sees her opportunity to get back in politics as she has always envied to do! I BELIEVE TRUMP WILL WIN THE 2020 ELECTION‼️????
This isn’t about Biden at all. The DNC will tell Biden who his VP will be in the hopes that he will get elected. Within his first year Biden will resign, for health reasons, and the VP will become President. The VP will be someone that doesn’t have the desire or patience to ‘run’ for the office of President. Can we all screech Hillary or Michelle? That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Isn’t that reverse racism ?? It just shows you that white democrats are racists….they are racists …..they don’t even like their own race …white people …..if that doesn’t prove they are NUTS ….I give up !!! We are not suppose to judge any people by their color…..that includes white people !!!
AGREE with you Donna!!
Sounds like the younger Democrats have become increasingly Racist and Misandrogynistic as a result of the indoctrination provided during their college years.
Agreed. College has a lot to do with this. Not the education part but the brain wash part.
The Democratic Party is a party that over the years promised minorities and small groups ‘power’ by joining the bigger Party. They never fulfilled those promises for 50 years but eventually had to hand out ‘power’ to each of these groups- When a human receives ‘power’ they then want more…and more…and more. This is where the Democratic Party sits today. Each of their portions are now claiming for all of the power. The Party is one election away from disintegration.
Don’t give Biden all of the credit. So far the Democrats have pissed off the Jews – with all of the anti-Semitism coming from the Democrat Congress – pissed off working blue collar Americans by calling them ALL morons – pissed off the blacks by claiming to own them and saying ALL black people think alike – pissed off LEGAL Hispanic Americans by catering to ILLEGALS and grouping them all in the same boat. Further pissed off Hispanic voters by trying to push socialism down their throats – many recent LEGAL Hispanic immigrants came here to ESCAPE FAILED socialist countries. The Democrats have pissed off Christians – Legal gun owners and Veterans – ALL of whom come from all races and ethnicities. The Democrats have held up COVID-19 relief aid from getting to AMERICANS repeatedly trying to stuff the bill with their pork projects and aid for once again their pet ILLEGALS. Americans have been watching and taking it all in. Personally I know many friends and family who used to be Democrats. I’m sure many – many others can say the same thing. The Democrats pissed off the Bernie Bro’s when they RIGGED the nomination for Biden – when Bernie was way out front – in the lead – the DNC ‘gave” all the drop-out’s delegates to Biden and put him in the lead. Now the DNC is desperately seeking a replacement for Biden because they fully understand he is a train wreck. Any wonder why Democrats are “Leaving the Plantation”?
Don’t get too excited .. When it comes down to pulling down the lever, the committed leftists, their dead parents and all those here illegally will vote for Alzheimer’s Joe .. Twice.
There is something wrong with anyone who would vote for Joe Biden. If he won, someone would have to remind him every morning that he is the President and not a Senator, what day it is, who his wife is, I’m not sure he knows the difference. The parties are supposed to run their finest. This is the best they got? God have mercy.
he will win IF the voter fraud is allowed to continue and the deep state not rejected/killed restore the republic! I HAVE A DREAM
We agree Tim! I BELIEVE…TRUMP WILL WIN THE 2020 ELECTION‼️??
We must vote all demorats out of office and vote for all Republican’s to
take those offices! Obama has been redistricting and those states we must WIN Michigan and Minnesota. Texas and California has the most percentage of illegal Hispanics in them. We should work on winning these states! Vote demorats out!
God bless America.??
Isn’t it about ‘diversity’ or some other ‘left-tarded’ BS?
I want to know how many Democrat voters are concerned that their nominee appears to have dementia.
You young, white Democrats who don’t want to vote an “old white dude”, stay home!
AGREE‼️??
Anyone who feels the need to include a persons race in their description of “good”or “bad” candidate is a RACIST!
Interesting how the very group that screams the loudest about other people’s “racism” (white college educated liberals) are in fact the most racist people alive.
I believe we will see alot of Dems voting for Trump because they are dissatisfied with the Dems candidate and the Dems actions since Trump has been in office and the fact that he’s actually doing what he promised he would do.
Hypocrisy runs deep in the Democrat Party. The group most likely to be bothered by Biden being older and white is the group that most likely has the most liberal inculcation at the hands of college institution “progressive” idiots and the least real world experience.
That is so weird! Are there not more important and significant concerns about Joe Biden?
Hillary will be helping Biden! Coaching him!
