Why do so few Americans with a mix of German AND English extraction run for president?

[Unsane]

Is anyone else bummed out about this? As an American with both English AND German ancestry, I feel like people like me have been underrepresented on the national stage. What say you??

1. I'm a European mutt by ancestry

My biggest complaint is that the monarchies my ancestors ran from are following us here!

2. agreed

3. i think your taking race into this to far

but I will say this, if I was someone else besides a rich white male and I wanted to run for president i think it would be intelligent for me to decide the right time. What better time when a dem is sure to be elected and when someone else besides a rich white male is running.

So yeah now is an opportune time for him to run, same as hillary so what?

If your serious about supporting someone with german ancestry be my guess, start at the local level, get a candidate running and make sure you support him.

4. That sounds like Republican Heritage Group Council junk-or worse

"a mix..." that reminds me of Nazi pseudo-science and unadulterated eugenics.

The rainbow coalition of race politics-who needs any of it?

:thumbsdown:

5. How come more Swedish Americans don't run for President???

The White House glogg fest would be worth it.

7. As someone of French extraction, I was outraged when Pierre DuPont HAD...

to run as Pete DuPont due to bigotry in this country!

I'm still so upset about it that I have to go have a cigarette. And seduce your girlfriend.

9. Agreed; all your sauces belong to us!

11. I don't know; too much Aryan inbreeding results in a bad fit for President?

I'm still waiting for the first Jewish black lesbian to become President. Then we'll talk.

12. i already had my jfk

and he was, um, jfk. irish catholic.

honestly i dont think it matters, which is why im looking at a black man and a white woman running for pres, and there's a "mick" running on the other side.

YAWN WHO CARES
