Are you not surprised? An ethnic group that hasn't been represented in the 400+ years they have been living on this continent finally have a president with the same skin color as them. I wouldn't call it a legitimate reason for voting but its not any better than a lot of other people.

And Wolf, a white person who wants a white president automatically leads to white supremacy, a person of color who wants a black president can just want a representative with a different skin color. There is a big premise difference.
