So, is DU a "white male bubble"?

The DU polls showed that something around 85% of DUers support Sanders over Clinton (one poll showed something like 90%). Clinton supporters suggest that the appeal of Sanders is strongest amongst young white college educated males, but not strong amongst minorities and women.

If this is true (which I am not convinced that it is), it begs the question: Are DUers mostly young white males? I would not have thought so. Are the people on DU which are members of an ethnic minority outliers? Is the politics of DU at all representative of the politics of the population in general?

In one way or another we would have to be looking at a biased sample here. What gives

To answer your question to the bold part is NO. DU is full of aging hippies from the 60's who want free shit.

YES.
DU is so white they only jump to conclusions.
DU is so white they have to have white stand ins like Rolex Randy (who channels the black), just so they can feel guilty.

Just as nurturing hatred toward those with whom they disagree inevitably would turn inward, as it has with CHILL vs. Bern, it was inevitable that members of PC minority groups' victim hypersensitivities would be turned inward, resulting in wranglings and recriminations, and those PC minority victims leaving in search of a safer safe place. Consequently, DU is largely a Bizarro-World of lots of white people who are down with blacks' victimology, but few actual blacks.

* PC minority groups, e.g.: blacks and Hispanics are PC but East & Southeast Asians, Indians, and Jews are not; Muslims are PC, but religious Jews are not; atheists are PC, but Evangelical or Catholic Christians are not.
