My bad, I phrased it badly. I was referring to the Hispanics considerable support for the Republican party. Cuban émigrés compose a large part of that demographic, but Republican influence is also present in other groups of Hispanic males. Hispanics and blacks share many of the conservative values espoused by the Republican party. If its officials didn't parrot racism so often and had actually tempered their anti-immigrant rhetoric, they would have more than covered their losses from the alienated far-right voters.
I agree completely, it was racist. It was speculated that Kamala Harris will attract more black and women votes for Biden, which I find it an implicitly condescending and derogatory view on blacks. The stagnation of Biden's popularity and Trump's moderate gains indicate that the premise was wrong, despite the president's obvious incompetence, gaffes and inflammatory remarks.
