I think that white women are more apt to read laterally. So I think there's some strong identification for women, and their political and social positions, and minorities. I think that the political power of, let's say, the average Indian man and a white woman are pretty equal.

Because I'm an American, I know there's all sorts of international folks who would gladly kidnap and behead me.
