    What really makes me chuckle is whenever someone tries to insist to me that Mexican men are chauvinists, and I have to remind them that not only did they elect a woman, but they elected a woman who is doing FDR shit and actually making people’s lives better.

    I’m jealous. The closest we got was Bernie and both parties swift-boated him.

      They are horribly chauvinistic.

      Let’s play a game. The US elected Obama so they are not racist riiight?

        I see the point you’re getting at, but this is too big of a debate for Saturday morning. :)

        Have a great day.

        Did more white people voted for Obama too? Because in Mexico, more men voted her than women did, relatively speaking. Also, our first black president was elected like 200 years ago.

        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.
