Many of us have been saying this, but for some reason many have been wanting to ignore it.  Wonder why?

Nobody states that fear of diversity is not a factor in voting for Trump, however it's not the only factor, and probably not even the major factor.

This article states, Obama-Trump voters were more fearful of diversity, not that they voted for him because of that, two completely different points.

The fear of diversity, is more prevalent among those who switched to Trump, but how many people are they? The majority, or the minority?
Yes. Correlation is not causation.

For example: Trump performed much better than anyone with rural non-educated voters for whatever reason (economic, social, "diversity").

This group is also "happen" to be more "racist". Correlation is not causation!

If it were Jeb vs Sanders the same group could probably switch to Sanders.
