The question remains: for the sake of brevity, we have two groups, non-white voters and white voters. We’re very worried about what the second group finds insulting (being accused of being racist) but not so worried about the first group (which receives racism).

If we are discussing this as a matter of electoral politics & punditry, the answer is very simple: people think (based on the evidence of recent elections) that the second group contains many voters who are persuadable by both political parties, and the first group does not.
