Supposedly, with the election of Obama, we elected the first black president. This is only half true because Obama was and is half black and half white.
Now we are encourage to elect the first woman president, which would make her the first white woman president.
So let's say she gets elected. Then what?
How about if we just wait awhile until we can get all groups all rolled up into one candidate. How about we wait for the first gay, Chinese Muslim who becomes the first transsexual while in office president and later announces they have become an atheist?
Maybe then we could get back to electing someone who isn't the first of anything because all bases have been covered and we can pat ourselves on our backs for being so inclusive.
