Is there racism in the fact that Hillary carries latinos/whites or Obama carries blacks?
if so, which side is racist? Is this an argument people really want to have?

1. Both sides are playing the race game.
And we all are the loosers.

6. Some people here have strange definitions of 'racist'...
The only one that should matter is when someone believes that an individual is inferior by belonging to a particular race.

Those results aren't "racist". :)

8. I don't believe its racist
Neither candidate gets all of one side or the other.

People tend to vote for candidates they identify with. Huckabee gets the born again vote. That doesn't mean his voters don't like born only once people. Candidates do better in their home states. I don't read racism into a different result for whites or blacks.
