Who will be the first non White President?

[Eraserhead]

Obama, elected in 2016 after 8 years as Clinton's VP

Why do people think there will be a Clinton-Obama ticket? They obviously hate eachother and you can't put a black and a woman on the same ticket for obvious reasons.

We wouldn't elect a lesbian so forget about clinton being president.

Other:  Some hispanic who is either under 18 or not even born yet.  There will probably never be a black president.

You really think a hispanic will be elected before a black? Americans seem far more hostile towards hispanics than blacks. I can't see a hispanic being elected President any time soon.

There is a reasonable argument that within 30-50 years Hispanics (or, at least, those of them who are not visibly "not European") could be white, in the same way that Jews, Catholics and the rest of the riff-raff are white today (something that no self-respecting white American would have believed true or even possible a century ago).  Thus,  an election of such a "Hispanic" might not even be too controversial at that point - but it would hardly qualify as an election of a "not white" President.

I would make the following (provocative) statement: an election of a "not white" president is impossible (by the definition of what "not white" means).  The very fact of an election would, almost certainly, imply that a certain (perhaps, narrowly defined) group of people has become white, or, at least, is getting whiter.  Thus, if they elect a President John Wang (or Michael Rodriguez), this would still not mean an election of a non-white. It would simply mean that the Chinese (resp., Hispanics) have become white.

They don't "obviously" hate each other, in fact they're probably friends in real life.  And only a sexist/racist would think that they can't be on the ticket.

They aren't friends. Not even close. They don't even speak to each other anymore. Also I could care less if a woman and a black were on same ticket but a lot of people would.

Alot of those people who'd care are heartland whites who dress up in white sheets on weekends and burn crosses.

[Governor PiT]

Obama in 2012 if a republican gets elected in 08. Jindal in 2016 if Obama gets elected.

[Governor PiT]

I should add Alan Keyes to the list.

A Hispanic will be elected first because eventually Hispanics will constitute a much larger percentage of the American population than blacks.

Careful. You presume we'll even have a coherent 'hispanic' grouping in 20-30 years(we already don't have one right now). IIRC the outmarriage rate of hispanics is above 50% now. We will eventually get a hispanic president but they'll probably be 1/2 or 1/4 hispanic.

[Governor PiT]

No. Indian is too close to arab for heartland types to even consider it.

He is now.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Barack Obama, and I believe and hope he will be elected in November 2008.

[J. J.]

If you are asking who will be the next non white president, Barak Obama, in 2012 or 2016.  He'll be 51 or 55.
