Considering what I did on the others I should have mentioned that Peru had a leader of Japanese descent, Alberto Fujimori.

As well, there have been several presidents of Lebanese descent in Latin America and the Caribbean (Argentina, Ecuador, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Belize).

This is a serious post, and I post whatever I darn well please, and I think what you just said is just old b.s. I love the term maniac birther, sounds like would make good Roger Corman flick.

You can post whatever you want to, sure........it would be great if it had some basis in reality, however.

I agree Affirmative Action shouldn't apply to the Presidency. At the same time, we have the whitest Black guy for President and you still have racist wing nuts accusing him of being racist toward whites despite the fact that he is half white, was raised by his white mother, was abandoned by his black father and was later raised by his white grandparents. But the Right Wing fools on this forum manufacture the idea that he is a racist and a closet Muslim.

So you can understand why AA still exists. As much as the concept disturbs me, it's still needed at times due to the extremists in society who still judge White=Superior

Talk condescendingly down toward me, call me "maniac birther", I honestly don't give a damn. My opinion is as good as yours, we each have one. And I will keep posting whether you agree or approve or not, whether you think it makes sense or not, whatever.

Yup. Isn't that what's great about America?

There is no native American leader at present who trancends tribal and regional politics who could even be considered on a national level. We're still trying to put our own house in order within the tribes and reservations. One day an NDN will gain national prominence and maybe gain the presidency, but by then I don't think background origin will matter to the bulk of society.

Why does the Congressional Black Caucus and tons of Black Americans fawn over "The Whitest black guy"? Oh wait I know, because many of them voted for him based on his skin color and nothing else which by definition is racist.
