If you’ve read anything about Bernie Sanders and black or minority voters, you’ve read about how he doesn’t, can’t, or won’t win them over. Countless articles describe the campaign as either tone deaf on race issues or, even worse, merely the left version of Donald Trump’s white-male grievance campaign. A corollary is the oft-repeated “Bernie Bros” narrative, which casts Sanders’s supporters as primarily young angry white men who are one anime avatar away from being in Gamer Gate.

But when it comes to Sanders’s allegedly melanin-poor supporters, there are more shallow opinions than hard facts. While Hillary Clinton won overwhelming majorities of black voters in states like South Carolina, Clinton’s margin of support among African Americans in the North has been smaller. With younger black voters, the Vermont senator has often tied or outpaced her.

And Sanders has now made up so much ground that he’s running neck-and-neck with Clinton among nonwhite registered Democrats younger than fifty.
