We don't vote based on a person's ethnicity. A person who happens to be of Hispanic descent will be voted when that person comes along. Same with Barack. People are taking a look at him because he is capable not because he is Black. But there are detractors who are nervous of loosing out to him and hence they are taking refuge behind race.

Professor Ivanov estimates that publications are locally produced in about 180 of these languages. Only 92 languages have been specifically identified among students of the Los Angeles Unified School District. laalmanac.com
