It's only a week after the 2012 election, and there's been a lot of ink spilled already about the racial and ethnic breakdown of the electorate. The conventional wisdom is this:

- Barack Obama's victory in 2008 wasn't a fluke. Non-whites did show up for him in numbers that equal (and in one case surpass - Asians voted for Obama in greater numbers this year) 2008 levels.

Four years ago the term "post-racial" was being used a lot. The idea that the first Black U.S. President would put a nail in the coffin of racism in this country, heal all wounds, have everyone holding hands and maybe, in a few short years, make everyone completely color-blind.
