You should read what the electoral college does, because that's not what it does.

Not the previous commenter, but I'm pretty certain that the, apparently fictional book, that Leave Burton showed on either The Daily Show, or Last Week Tonight, entitled It's all Because of Racism, would cover what the EC's actual purpose is. Though in this particular case it may be fairer to say classism.

I think it was less overt racism, but still pretty racist.

But mostly because Classism and Racism were pretty intertwined back in the day, what with non-white people essentially being entirely disallowed from actually being a higher class.

In other words, racism was so overt that you don't even need to mention it.
