File this under hashtags to watch: #BernieMadeMeWhite.

In case you missed it, the phrase has become a widespread protest slogan among Bernie Sanders supporters who believe the media is glossing over his support from people who aren’t white. The hashtag has been picking up steam for the past 24 hours in the wake of Sanders’s big wins in the Washington, Hawaii and Alaska caucuses, and analyses such as this one from The Post — “Why did Bernie Sanders dominate Saturday? Caucuses in states with smaller black populations” — are fueling the fire.

Any proof that Bernie Sanders does not support non-White people?
