When will we have a non-white president?

Hi guys!

During this week, I have been thinking a lot about the elections in the USA. I am really glad because, finally, they have a black president. I am very happy for them, because, the only race that has arrived forced to the USA is the black, taken from Africa. The African American were slaves since 1865 and forced to work and live in poor conditions since the 30's.

On the other hand, any European country has ever had a president from a different of the historical race. For example, in countries with old colonies, for example UK, Spain, Portugal, France, the Neederlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy, etc. any of them have had a non-white president. When do you think that some of this countries will have one? I think that I will not be here to see it, but, I wish I will.

Nowadays, if we go to one European developed countries, we can see a lot of multicultural cities with rich people from abroad. I remember when I visited Switzerland, France or UK, I see non-white people with expensive cars, clothes, etc.

I think that in Catalonia and in his western neighbor country (Spain), it was not habitual to see people from abroad. But, from ten years ago, the immigration is being increased. Unfortunately, the racism is increasing. I think that one of the reasons could be the famous “crisis”. Sometimes, one of the reactions to this problem is that some people think that the blame of this problem is caused for the newcomers, because people think that the immigrant steal their jobs. Nevertheless, they give us more knowledge in our life, because we can learn from new cultures, new clues, etc.

For this reason, I hope that in a near future, we will have an authentic multicultural country, I would like to have an non-white president.

We can also ask ourselves: When will we have a WOMAN president in Spain or in Catalonia?
