I wonder if this applies to gender, too. Since much of the world does not respect females as authorities, does this remove Hillary's legitimacy as Sec of State? Was Condi Rice legitimate because she was black, or not because she was female? And Obama is not really black, but of mixed race, so perhaps he is only semi-legitimate. Oh my, we need a special UN commission to publish the rules here. The rest of us poor white folk will have to go on proving our worth with accomplishments. I wonder if this applies to gender, too.

Likely something to do with the historical image, right or wrong, of white people, and in Obama's case, white America. Maybe objective insight from another white guy.
