I was reading the Tim Scott/Washington Post think and it reminded me that the news media hasn& #39;t done anything to try to understand conservatives who are minorities, even after the 2020 election saw a sizable Latino/Asian/AA shift to the right.
If a non-conservative publication is trying to hire anyone who comes from a minority background, they& #39;re basically looking for a stereotype, very culturally liberal person. They aren& #39;t interested in the median (moderate) person from those backgrounds, let alone a conservative one
You would think after an election with a surprising shift in voting the news media would try to be more representative and include those people, understand them, share their narratives and worldviews. But that just isn& #39;t happening, they didn& #39;t budge at all.
I& #39;m sure many of them are telling themselves that, but even putting the 2020 election aside, more African Americans ID as moderate/conservative than liberal. Around half of Hispanics generally oppose abortion. Does that line up with media presentation? https://twitter.com/PatriceJeanB/status/1385834900566257664">https://twitter.com/PatriceJe...
The viewpoints shared by the majority of white liberals are very common in media, but the viewpoints shared by the majority of AAs/Hispanics aren& #39;t.

Someone like say, Glenn Loury, is about where the median AA person is, politically. Instead, Ibram Kendi has the Atlantic column, he& #39;s the frequent cable news guest, and is getting millions from donors to helm his own center at a university.
