Racism in America

[gambit]

Yeah, I read that too, and my heart just sunk. I know this certainly isn't the majority of people who didn't vote for Obama, but it's way too much. The best way to fight against this is for Obama to have a good presidency. If he can fix some things in this country, hopefully people won't have much to complain about.

But you know what? I really want to see Gov. Piyush "Bobby" Jindal of Louisiana get the Republican nomination in 2012. From what I've read about him, I certainly don't agree with his politics, but still. Just imagine neither of the two major party candidates being white. An African-American vs. an Indian-American would just kill the racists. Hell, imagine all the rednecks fumbling around with calling him Indian (all the way from India and not Native American) and trying to deflect his actual Hindu upbringing.
