I don't think most "non-whites" have a clue who Sanders is at the moment. How many "non whites" are showing up at Hillary events?
If you watched her campaign launch in New York, it is was remarkably ethnically diverse. Of course, the Democratic party itself is much whiter in most states than the Democratic Party of say, NYC.

If Sanders won the Democratic nomination, he would win black votes overwhelmingly in the general election.  Blacks are the Dems most loyal voting block.  The Dems know they can take black voters for granted anyway.

I have been saying for some time now that Sanders should pick black Congresswoman Donna Edwards for VP. 
Everyone knows he would win blacks if he was the nominee. And Edwards is already running for the open Maryland Senate seat, so she'll be in the middle of that race when it comes time to pick a VP.

Bernie's politics appeal to upper middle class whites and no one else at this point.



Why?

Because he's the Tarpit Stardust (or whoever Cuomo's opponent) was of the 2016 primaries and liberal crusaderism is the whitest thing on the planet.
Not whiter than Sons of the Confederacy civil war reenactments.
