Its an interesting point to bring up.  Given the historical context,
landowner-only-voting would conjur up a point in American history that
was segregated.  That might make it racially sensitive, however,
outside of its century+ old baggage, I see nothing intrinsically
racist in landowner-only voting; SRP does this currently in its board
election, so you'd have to say they're racist and that anyone giving
them money is supporting racism.
