This really is historic. This is the first time in the history of the western world that a non-white has had at least a 50-50 shot at being the leader of a western nation. The first time that a member of a race that was once enslaved and then discriminated against has a chance to lead a nation.

There have been black Governors-General of Canada.... Wink
For the purposes of making sweeping historical observations, I chose to ignore that. Tongue
