Ah. I see what you are getting at. Apologies...what I'm meaning to talk about isn't race. It's "people like us" and "people not like us". "Those people" are trash from a trash island. Puerto Rican isn't a race. Calling people from Kentucky "dumb rednecks" doesn't make someone racist, but it does likely mean that people from Kentucky may not be favorably disposed to them at first blush."sees a certain set of the electorate."
Given that the jokes in question were about blacks and Hispanics, I just figured that's who you were talking about. Were you not talking about those sets of the electorate?
