First, he's half black. Second, they have been improving very slowly anyway. Unless everyone was blind or the same color I bet there will always be stereotypes about race. Same with gender. If a female became President I doubt that would significantly increase gender equality.
How is it like having to deal with racism? I have never dealt with it but grew up in a racist family,
I want to change my thoughts

What is worse...a blatant racist/bigot or one who has no idea what a racist/bigot he/she is? Does being clueless make it less awful?

A female president wouldn't increase gender equality, but it would signal that gender inequality is not as much of an issue in politics. That would also be a very significant event in a country that didn't allow women to vote for President until 1920!

Well I would like to say it's the same for our new president. The fact people let even a half black president in shows we are loosening up out tight reign on racial inequality.

I agree Someone. I think that America is maturing. The melting pot is starting to simmer!
