Some stigma regarding a 'red-neck' voting for an African-American proved partially correct, where states such as Arkansas and Kansas casted their votes to John McCain.
A number of factors affect who individuals vote for such as an individual's Age, the amount of education they have been through, gender and even the ethnicity of your neighbour!.
Looking at the last point on how the ethnicity of your neighbours affect your political views something I found really interesting was the fact that individuals who lived in a predominately mixed neighbourhood (blacks and whites) and individuals who lived in just same race neighbourhoods (just whites) had similar views on political issues and were not biased.
Take a look below
And another one
As you can see, there wasn't much difference between monoracial neighbourhoods and mixed neighbours.
But look what happens when we ask these neighbourhoods more personal questions!
I found this really interesting. Silver, designated this to the fact who you are around affect your thinking. Therefore if you are predominately around people of the same race as you you're more than likely to think and do what they do. Simply goes back to the saying ''birds of the same feather flock together''!
Overall this video was extremely interesting however, I have to admit it the outcomes was kind of predictable.. My next step would probably be to see the root of racism is it learned, is it innate or whatever?
