It turns out that a growing number of people from 'minority backgrounds' are now turned off by being told who to vote for based on, for example, their ethnicity.

How dare a black person like Kemi Badenoch get herself elected leader of the Conservatives?

How dare increasing numbers of (e.g.) Latino/Hispanic/Black voters support Donald Trump, of all people, effectively giving him the big push over the line into the White House?

It's the "black face of white supremacy", as Dawn Butler would say - indeed did say in a tweet that revealed everything about the content of her character. Or to put it another way, minority voters should know their role, much like white working class people should automatically vote Labour. Anybody who doesn't is an idiot or a traitor ... but remember everybody should "be kind".

Of course, people on the right of politics shouldn't complain about such insults from the illiberal left towards what they see as "their" own misbehaving support-base, indeed they should hope it continues, because it's phenomenally effective in convincing increasing numbers of that support base to look elsewhere.
That’s all remarkably well argued but again I don’t know why you quoted my post because it had nothing to do with what I said. You ascribed the values of Martin Luther King to members of the Tory party because they er voted for Kemi Badenoch instead of the non entity that is Robert Jenrick ( a man who lost an election when he was the only candidate). That is imo laughably ridiculous. To make that claim is as idiotic saying ‘I can’t be racist because my best mate is black’.

You said all this while at the same time speaking up for Donald Trump, a white supremacist who amongst other things recently claimed that Haitian immigrants are eating people’s pets ( a common far right trope). What do you think MLK would have thought of that? Be honest.
