Granted, you put the "in general" caveat in there, but I think this is an unfounded generalization. I'll agree that some white people (and probably some black people, too) voted for Obama based on a cost v. benefit analysis. But to accuse white people of choosing gender over race is as offensive as me accusing black people of choosing race over gender. There isn't always a race- or gender-related motivation.
