I am black. My brother is black. When I criticized Barack Obama in 2008, he called that “racist”.
I laughed out loud, but I never forgot it.
My apologies, but has your brother ever really thought about that statement?

You're in good company. EVERY group has that kind of thinking.
I know many conservatives of Hellenic descent who were shamed and vilified by family and community when they said they wouldn't vote for Dukakis in 1988. Forget that he was a joke (remember this picture?)
...forget that he said he'd not want the death penalty for someone who raped and murdered his wife, if you were a "Greek-American" it was your DUTY to vote for this loser or else you were a malaka.
That sort of silliness used to be fodder for late-night comedy.
Now?
Satire is dead.
I’m Married to a Latina. Her Mother and one of her Sisters were born in Mexico City. Her Family lived in Mexico until she was six years old.
My Wife hates when People assume she speaks Spanish (which she does) just because of how she looks. Really pisses her off.
She also loves the TRUMP 45 Vanity License Plates I have on my Car, even though she is getting concerned that an unhinged Leftist will physically attack me because of it.
My older Brother never cared about Politics. After talking to me over the years he is hopelessly Conservative.
There is hope... LOL
I meant uncivil war.
