I'm libertarian but not of the Libertarian party. I'm Hispanic descent, close to 50, female. And my husband is 51, white male, libertarian. We know a lot of libertarians, my mother, 77, white. My dad was also libertarian, when he died, 80, Hispanic descent.
the qualifier is the word...mostly. All would include you.
No, not surprise, although there are likely others who lean libertarian and simply are not registered. I am a Libertarian, although not registered as yet. I plan to register and do not fit that description at all.

Take the emotion out of policy and we have freedom and liberty.
That's what I was going to say. Empathy and libertarianism are at odds with each other.
There's a huge correlation between autistic behaviors and libertarianism. It's why you tend to see rampant libertarianism amongst engineering and asocial types.
I'm thinking that perhaps libertarianism could be cured by some sort of oxytocin nasal spray.
While the stats are obviously somewhat disproportionate to the overall population, I'm not convinced the difference is worthy of a headline. Certainly if you examined the proportion of blacks that are Democrats you would find a much greater degree of divergence from the population as a whole. Would that make headline news?
As others have said, this is the group the progressives lean on to fund their redistributionist policies, so not too surprising really.
I once fit the description, but while my political views have remained the same, I can no longer be considered young.
