Candidate with broad appeal win, no matter what their race.....
the key word being majority. I didn't say all there are always the exceptions to the rule.

If you look at the Senate and house of representatives how many people of color are there? Are there many women? you'd think since women make up half the population of the planet there'd be more women representing women...But there's not.

don't get me wrong I think as a nation we've come a long ways but I still feel like there is room for improvement.
