Hollywood More or less racist

Most of Hollywood's present day "racism" is more to do with money (people tend to watch movies about people they relate to, and a hero with a face closer to yours and labeled as heroic in the culture means more ticket sales) so more racist is more likely if America stays with Mcarthy or explodes with racial conflict.

Not that ol' Tailgunner Joe was a paragon of virtue to be emulated, but you realize that McCarthy's stance on the race issue was actually pretty progressive by the standards of his day right?

Wolfpaw did a timeline where he was president and actually touched on this issue in a very interesting way.
 
Didn't know that (please back this up with source)

Ok than, President Hoover.

Sadly I do not have one for it offhand, I'll try and track one down though.

As for Hoover, the man was a (literal) Mama's Boy and kind of an unhinged whacko in the best of times. He was frightfully paranoid, neurotic, secretive, and rather lacking in any personal charms, in other words, not the sort of quality that makes a man an ideal politician. In other words, I don't think Hoover being POTUS is even remotely possible (Hoover would have to be a vastly different man to be a politician as opposed to the fiercely-talented backroom infighter he was IOTL), the Director of the FBI is not in the presidential line of succession, so that about wrecks any chance he has. The only real chance he has is using the position he had OTL to be a sort of power behind the throne, and even then he'd be in line behind scads of competing interests and individuals with agendas of their own.
