Adam, I crunched the numbers too and got very similar results. I think it says a lot about the state of the parties, in the age of Obama, the Democratic party is clearly more "big tent" when it comes to race, while the Republican party is even whiter than I thought.

It should be noted though, that a clear majority of votes for Obama were from white Americans, just not 88%

Here's a visual representation to share with all your friends.
