Not so. Believing that a (half) black guy or a woman reaching the  
office of PoTUS will do wonders to heal some of America's scars and  
voting accordingly does not make one racist or sexist, necessarily.

43 Presidents so far, all rich white guys. 43 VPs, the same. Thinking  
that maybe it's time to redress that slightly is not *necessarily*  
racist, it's inclusive.

Charlie.
