The RNC is pretty inept.  About the only thing working in their favor is the person chairing the DNC.

Funny, the DNC could say the same about the RNC.  :lol: Which is why everybody sucks.

Yeah that's the only thing I could think beyond the fact that she isn't dark-skinned.

Yep, works both ways.  I would say the DNC is a bit more effective than the RNC at get out the vote grassroots type stuff.  But both chairs are just plain awful.

What non-visual cues should I be getting from an image?

I don't understand the question. Or perhaps better yet, what race would you consider the person in that image?

I'm kidding, but she does look more like South Asians than Africans.

Could be anything. I thought that was the joke, actually. No one else seems to think it the least bit odd though.

Because it is pretty clear she is of African descent. Not unlike Beyonce and myself. :)

I have noticed that black people are more likely correctly guess my background than other groups.

I find it hard to believe anyone can correctly guess your background what with you weekly Roulette wheel of self-identification.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
