    Why are people so racist that it determines their voting choices in great enough numbers that they’re a significant voting bloc?

    Because if a voter’s only real position is “Hurt minorities”, other positions are unlikely to stop them from voting for a candidate. On the other hand, people with actual ideologies can be tripped up even by one or two policies that are out-of-sync with their desired policies, reducing turnout.
