Like who? Exactly who objects to Obama on race alone? Everyone I've seen objects to Obama because of his horrendously misguided, albeit naive, political ideologies and policies.

I don't see anyone treating Obama like he's white, do you?
That's exactly the point. If the public accepts a mulatto as black, they should also accept any of the other mixed ethnicity politicians.

they don't like brownies so much. Every single one of their "Hispanics" is on the white side of the spectrum.

I gotta say that I'm impressed. I didn't realize that all you "brown" Dems really didn't care about your own people if they had different viewpoints than yourself. I really had no idea that you would turn on your own like a rabid dog over selfishness. I thought you guys ran in packs? Oh, only if they think and vote alike? I got it now.

So everyone has to vote on the shade of skin color now? Maybe the "darkies" were too stupid for the job. Just a thought.

The pack mentality is yours, you own it.
You didn't have to toss any names around. That's the beauty of racism, you can make sweeping generalizations and get your point across.

Whether I agree with their agenda or not as a minority it is hard to not feel proud of the changing demographic in politics.

African-American:

Tim Scott (South Carolina)
Allen West (Florida)

Hispanic/Latino:

Susana Martinez (New Mexico)
Brian Sandoval (Nevada)
Bill Flores (Texas)
Francisco Canceco (Texas)
Jamie Herrera (Washington)
Marco Rubio (Florida) Future Presidential candidate??
David Reveria (Florida)

Indian:

Nikki Haley (South Carolina)
I agree, and these are some really great people, and now there are too many for the democrats to demagogue them all. I have listened to some of these people, and they are very dynamic and are in a much higher league then the Whitman's and O'Donnells.

Apparently, democrats place all the "minority" races in type-casted little boxes, as if race and ethnicity made people genetically predisposed to behave a certain way, albeit needing sympathetic democrats in government to take care of them.

Again- how is she not ethnic? What's your definition of ethnic?
I assume your obtuseness is intentional.
