Yep. A lot of the analysis after the election showed that racial animus was a key for Trump voters. Those voters that voted for Obama twice and then voted for Trump were most swayed by Trump's xenophobic rhetoric against Mexicans and Muslims (people wonder how you can say people who voted for Obama twice were animated by racism I guess tend to forget that there are more than two races?).
