- Perception bias A: algorithms tilt your perception to think it's all white. (See goog image search "happy white woman" vs "happy [any other ethnicity] woman" - shows what they want you to see, what they want you to think.
- Perception bias B: if a white and a black and a latino all march for minimum wage increase, the white is portrayed in media as an enlightened liberal while the minorities are portrayed as victims or freedom fighters.
- University enrollment over past 4 decades (so definitely some truth there)
- Liberalism specifically uses Christian values of charity as the mental hook, so doesn't work well in other cultures (yes, lots of non-white christians, but in this country still the majority)
- Absolute numbers of whites are still much greater in this country, even if liberalism percentage was equally pro-rated among ethnic groups;
- Other cultures have counter-culture liberals, too. See #1 above. Also they suffer more backlash in other countries, so they are often quieter there.
