A few years back, I knew a guy who managed a game store. This guy couldn't be any whiter. He even had red hair. One day a customer made some disparaging remarks about black people, assuming that Wayne would share his attitude. Well, not only did Wayne have an African American employee, but he was married to a black woman and had two lovely little girls. Wayne handled it very well and managed to find some humor in how clueless and inept the guy was.
This happened in Sacramento, probably the most diverse place I've ever lived and the one place that any halfway conscious person knows that you can't assume anything about anyone's nationality or ethnicity.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
