Surprised this question hasn't been asked yet. Oh and the answer is clearly "worse".

If he was Black? He would do exactly the same, down to the last vote, Im guessing.

You mean full black? Probably worst, depending on whether he grew up in a standard black community, or maybe closer to the same if he grew up with the same "bridging the divides" kind of ideas.

No I mean "black" as in a descendent of slaves. Who mentioned skin colour? I didn't.

Well, more people would probably not think he was a Muslim.  Smiley

But other than that, you're right.
