I see nothing whatsoever wrong with proudly and preferentially voting for a member of your race, provided he/she is a decent, competent candidate who will also serve people of other races fair and square. What in the world is wrong with it? Especially when there are not huge policy differences and he is in many (except militarily) an exceptional candidate...same if women want to vote for a decent woman candidate..would that we had one..As long as they reach a baseline of honesty, competency etc., why should we care? Why is it a problem? It is time. mg
