He is rich, Jewish, Liberal Democrat so what he said does not surprise me.

Do we know his voting patterns and campaign donation patterns? Being Jewish doesn't mean one is automatically a Democrat.

He does say we are a black league.

"We're a black league Ernie, we are a black league. I don't know the number but I'd probably say 80% of our players are black."

Ah, he should have said the NBA is predominantly a black league, which would be true.

As was already pointed out, he actually isn't a Democrat
Donald Sterling is a Republican, not a Democrat -- but does it matter? - latimes.com

We only know that he has been registered as a repub since 2002.

Before that, likely a democrat.

Political party has nothing to do with likeliness of being a bigot.

Plenty of bigotry to go around in all the parties.
