Stereotypes

This is something that came up today, so I decided that I am going to bring this up. 
Is it ok to base political views based on your race?  I guess maybe there is some truth to some stereotypes, but I am not sure that they are all fair to say. 
Today for example, I did a friend fact on facebook.  The majority of my friends result showed up as Republican.  I thought it was kind of strange because the majority of my friends who I speak to on a regular basis are Democrats.  My boyfriend said its because the majority of my friends are white.  Until he said that, I didn't even realize that the majority were white.  To prove it he did a count of my facebook friends.  Out of 314 friends, 57 of them were not white.  That comes to about 18% of my friends not being white.  My boyfriend is not white, and I really never pay attention to things like that, so it kind of came to a shock to me.  Anyway, I really want to investigate his theory some more, so I am going to have a kind of mini experiment and see what I find out. 
Please leave me a comment on here saying your race and your political affiliation.  I don't judge anybody based on race or political views.  I am very open minded, and I am only doing this to see how far this stereotypical statement goes.  I'm also going to post something similar on my facebook and twitter account.  In about a week I will post what I found out.
Thanks!
