"Other than the black-white divide.." -- Okay, but why are you framing it that way?
Because the Left tries to tell me that Asians & Hispanics & Polynesians & Indians vote different from the rest of America. But that's simply not true - they just happen to be more likely to live in big cities than whites & blacks.
The racial differences are tiny compared to the rural vs urban divide, even within hispanic & asian groups. There's as big a difference between urban hispanics & suburban hispanics as there is between urban whites & suburban whites.
Blacks are less than 30% of all racial minorities in the USA. There certainly is a big chasm between blacks & everyone else, but that doesn't mean that there is also a huge divide between whites & everyone else.

Well 30% of non-white people are black, who vote 88% Democrat. So I'm not surprised at that.
If you do just by Hispanic or Asian or any other ethnic or racial group, it'll look about even.
