When my best friend's wife, the daughter of a career diplomat, moved here from Ethopia around the time she started college, she identified with conservative Republicans... after a few years of the occasional refusal of service at restaurants in Central NY (which is pretty rednecky in some areas), and an eventual move to "Red" America, she's begun to finally see that racism exists here and has been moving (slowly) to the left.

That's what always astounds me.........why minorities and gays aspire to the GOP when its very clear that party doesn't think highly of them? The need to feel elitist must be very strong in them.
