There is a difference between
a. choosing not to vote for "Billary" because she's a woman, and
b. choosing not to vote for "Billary" because you can't stand the way she talks.
The first is "sexist" and the second is not!
Similarly,
You can
a. vote against Obama because he's "non-white," or
b. vote against Obama because he's an "elitist."
The first is "racist" and the second is not!
We can argue whether the latter form of reasoning is any better then the former, but the point is that they are DIFFERENT!
