Also the percentage of Latino voters and Asian American voters who went red?

It's important to give those numbers because of the way you phrased your post...making it seem like Black voters were a huge part of that red result. I'm betting that it was a small minority of Black voters and conversely majority of Latino voters afraid of the socialism bogeyman the Gillum was painted as.
