The Democratic Party's problem sometimes is not that it has contempt for certain minorities, as you seem to think, but that many of its members view the party as a collection of special interest groups which individually need to be appeased with their pet issue -- affirmative action for blacks, ANWR for the environmentalists, choice for the pro-choice crowd, etc. The notion is that you just need to keep pushing those buttons to make everyone happy. You could say that it's this sort of pandering is the opposite of contempt.
