185. He said first mainstream
The other four were just a list of formidable political attributes, not connected to 'first'. It was pretty clear on the audio. It's obvious that Biden thinks good-looking and clean-cut, or whatever, are important or he wouldn't have mentioned them. I don't see anything wrong there.

There are apparently these points to argue about:
How pejorative is 'articulate'?
How much grief does he deserve for it (ie "racist asshole"?) being the first to run into it?

Others question whether Biden thinks extremely lowly of African-Americans in general, ie that he thinks Barack is a rare articulate. I give that no credibility. You question whether Biden thinks middle lowly of African-Americans, ie that he thinks it's rare for multiple good qualities. I give that low credibility.

I just realized you didn't answer my previous question. It was a straightforward question.
