I thought initially it was getting at race or something, but it was not that banal - or off point.

If you read the rest of the guy's blog posts, though, it's full of "scientific" racist drivel.  Basically talking points straight out of Stormfront.  All the more horrifying, since the guy is (or at least claims to be) a black Jamaican. 

I mean read this entry:

https://jaymans.wordpress.com/2015/09/21/clannishness-the-series-zigzag-lightning-in-the-brain/

I'd quote specific lines to demonstrate just how horrific and, well, stupid this post is, but honestly just about every line is facepalm-worthy.

As for the particular post you linked, well, aside from his (objectively wrong) belief that all behavior is 100% determined by genetics, just repeating a lot of what has already been said in many analyses of the political dispositions of white Americans.  Yes, there are many identifiable regional white American subcultures and yes, these subcultures are largely the product of settlement patterns.  This is all fascinating and worthy of discussion.  No need to ruin it with the racist bullsh**t.  I'm going to assume that the OP doesn't endorse the views of the blogger, though one has to wonder how he stumbled across that rather dark cesspit in the first place.
