I donīt think a colored person would be elected to lead the Swedish Government either. And the Swedish population in general (out loud) are not racists either.

But I do think that, in any country, there are a certain amount of people that are (out loud, or not) - and having that against one self, as a colored person, will by itself create a weaker position to start with.

Secondly, among all the rest of us that are not racists there will be certain groups that rather would see a non-colored person elected in order not to upset the racists on whose votes they may depend on.
