Racism Vs Sexism

Geraldine Ferraro is standing by her comments about Barack Obama which are considered racist by many. Here is what she said:

"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."

For those of you who had forgotten about Ferraro, she was the only woman to to be selected by a major political party for the position of vice president of the United States. I wonder if she was a man, would anyone care about what she has to say now since in that case she most certainly would not have been chosen as a vice presidential candidate back then. I wonder if Hillary Clinton would be a contender for the nomination if she was a man.

I also wonder if Ferraro and Clinton would consider what I just wrote sexist.
