Had Hillary been a man and had Obama been white, we wouldn't still be hearing about them. It's a sad plague of the Democratic party that minority status is more important than actual qualifications. I don't mean to offend any of their supporters, but let's be honest here, of the 10 someodd candidates who ran these two were the
least qualified. Beyond that, there are others who quite likely would have run if minority status wasn't such a big issue, men like Gore and Warner (both of which who I
could see myself voting for).
It's not racist or sexist of you to say what you're saying, you're simply observing a failing in the American politics.
