White and male means Buttigieg is going to have a major problem in the primaries. Asian and male is almost as bad.
Unless the Democrats suddenly decide to stop playing identity politics they're going to choose someone based on gender/race (female/not white).

- Mikeb85 8y agoDoes he? Dunno, there seems to be enough gay white males in positions of authority in the US that I didn't think that would count towards his diversity status.
- danenania 8y agoBiden and Sanders are currently leading in polls, so I’m not sure where you’re getting this from.
- Mikeb85 8y agoBut neither is actually going to be chosen by the DNC (is Biden even running?). Just wait until the primaries start and the media attacks ramp up.
- danenania 8y agoAnything could happen, but given that white males are currently getting a combined ~64% in polls, it's pretty silly to say that running as a white male is a 'major problem'.
