"That old trick... Pitting nonwhite minorities against each other! "

Actually there usually doesn't have to be any effort in pitting non-white minorities against each other. Usually their interests don't overlap. Like in Texas, blacks and Hispanics combined have outnumbered whites for a while. Yet mostly it is whites who get elected. A big factor is that Hispanics won't vote for a black candidate, nor blacks for a Hispanic. But both will vote for whites. When blacks or Hispanics get elected, it is because they have managed to attract enough white support or they are running in an area where they are in the majority.
