    Agreed. And with sexism, the link is even weaker.

    America is only 15% black so it at least suggests that a good chunk of the other 85% were not too racist to elect Obama.

    But humanity is 52% women so in theory, women could elect a woman even if every man in the country was in fact chauvinist.

      Obama refused to publicly acknowledge he was black until his last year of his second term.
