Advertisements [?]
what if a minority wanted to run for president and they were someone who could not speak well, ignorant of many issues and unable to discuss them, bragged about how they got low grades in school, and had the drugs and alcohol problem.

would this minority candidate be seen as a "regular guy" that connects with the "average" person ? or would they be seen as a lazy person with a criminal past who got by on special preferences ?
