Proof that the Tea Party has a Racist Component

One of the benefits of studying Mathematics and Statistics is you learn the strengths and foibles of numbers and you learn logic.  If A and B are true, and A+B=C, then C is true.

The House GOP members who are leading the charge to defund ObamaCare, which is so popular that websites crashed because millions of people went there to see what was what, are from mostly white districts.  These are also the members blocking immigration reform and hate President Obama.

Now comes the demographic analysis of the 2010 gerrymandering process.

Between 2000 and 2010, the European origin white share of the population fell from 69% to 64%.  But after redistricting for the 2012 elections, the European origin white share of the average Republican district rose from 73% to 75%.  The average Democratic House district dropped from 52% white to 51% white.

There are no Democratic Tea Party members, and the Tea Party opposes anything that helps the poor or working poor and the Tea Party members come from predominantly white districts and race is a gerrymandering issue, therefore racism must be a component of their vehement opposition.
