10. Either in 2000 or 2004
I remember reading an interview with a Black GOP delegate who was complaining that everywhere he went at the convention, all the White people assumed he was "the help." At the hotel, they asked him to carry his bags, at the convention to get them refills, etc. It didn't matter that he was dressed in a very nice suit instead of some kind of uniform, which the staff at hotels and events would wear. They couldn't see past his color.
