No kidding. It's sickening to think in a country that was built by teeming, huddled masses yearning to be free that a resultant child borne of the soil cannot acchieve the highest office in the land.

I never get questioned about my Canadianess. Both my parents were not born in this country (coming here in the 1950s) yet I get a free pass because I am white. Yet my Asian-appearing friend traces her family roots in Canada to the 1880s and is occasionally disparaged as being fresh off the boat. That stuff hurts.

Racism is still painfully flourishing in today's society. Only now it's called patriotism.
