He could also be from a nation where colored isn't considered negatively as it is in the United States, and is still considered a normal term.

the term isn't negative here in the US, it's just old, and not used to quote the head of the NAACP (you know the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) it's "The term 'colored' is not derogatory, [the NAACP] chose the word 'colored' because it was the most positive description commonly used at that time. It's outdated and antiquated but not offensive."
 
Easy: Vote for anyone except those who live in equatorial Africa or Albinos. Everyone else should be colored in shades of pinkish-yellowish-brown.
 
erm earliest real shot, one of the names on Nixon's short list for VP in 1973 was Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke, he had some support from Democrats as a liberal, Brooke as VP came up a few times, the press floated the idea that Nixon would bump off Agnew for Brooke in 1972, and again the press brought up the idea of him as Ford's running mate in 1976, but 1973 was his shot, Ford's more right wing views and greater Democratic support got him the job, but despite their political differences I think Nixon respected Brooke more than Ford with whom he agreed more.

because this got lost in the mix, barring any major PODs earlier in OTL I think Brooke is the best man for the job, after him maybe Carter picks Barbara Jordan in 1976 as a running mate, than falls down some stairs (or something) I don't think Jesse Jackson ever had a shot, um than Powell at some point, maybe Cheney picks Powell for VP rather than himself and moves into Sec Def again, Bush chokes on something, there was a TL were Powell ran as a 3rd party in 1996, maybe he breaks Democratic (they courted him) in 1992 (or latter, maybe moving in the Clinton cabinet and running in 2000 or 2004)
 
People of Indo European descent versus people of indo african descent as President. Was that what you meant? And was this going to be a double blind what if?

I am going to assume yes.

If so, then I think the election of an Indo-African American President grows more likly with each passing election cycle.

A black fellow wil lbe elected before a woman will be elected, but rest assured, we'll get there, fellows, once an Ido African has been elected, one of us girls sitting the big char is a certainty.

We promise not to paint the place pink.
 
Or edit the title to put a "DBWI" at the front. The OP explained in the Hall of Infamy that's what he meant it as.

Seems the best course of action. I figured with a banning and then a reversal, the mods would have put DBWI at the front.
 
Caucasian Americans turn red with embarressment, green with envy and yellow with fear, and we have the gall to call African Americans "Colored."

It is to laugh.
