I think it's more accurate to say that blacks are surprisingly diverse, as they are too often perceived as a hivemind/bloc. This could be said about any group of course, but as an Asian, I would agree that blacks* have it worse in this regard.

* even referring to them all as "blacks" blurs the significant difference between African-Americans who trace their heritage to American slavery, and contemporary immigrant/refugee communities from Somalia, etc.

> blacks are actually surprisingly conservative in a lot of ways.

> I remember [this one anecdote]

Substitute whites or men for blacks here, and you'll see the problem in assuming blacks are a monolithic voting block. We saw the same lazy thinking in the (false) claim that blacks made Prop 8 fail in CA.
