traditionally racist views (on segregation, interracial marriage, and inborn racial abilities)


I can see the results being valid if framed around these types of issues. For example, blacks consistently poll as the lowest in terms of support for same sex marriage:

And hispancs are, by far, the largest remaining practicing Catholic group in the country:

And if we go directly to the issue of interracial marriage, you see a similar trend:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interracial_marriage_in_the_United_States#Public_opinion
A 2018 YouGov/Economist poll found that 17% of Americans oppose interracial marriage; with 19% of "other" ethnic groups, 18% of blacks, 17% of whites, and 15% of Hispanics opposing.


Minorities, like anyone else, are capable of holding conservative views and often do when it comes to certain hotbutton issues. If you orient your definition of racism around social issues that are less popular among minorities, when tied with the fact that minorities tend to prefer redistribution over whites, then it's not unreasonable to come to the stated conclusion that racists tends to prefer redistribution.

The issue, then, is whether you consider support for or against these issues as sufficiently "race related" to consider the individual racist.
