枫下茶话 / 政治经济 / 每个人的所作所为,都对他/她的族裔的形象产生某种影响(正面或负面)。政客影视体育明星比多数人有更多的机会在大众面前露脸,且多为正面影响。这应该是为何黑人们不管贫富, 不管党派, 不管地域, 都投票支持奥巴马。这也同样就是华人选邹的意义。

不分党派,不论政纲,不辨是非地支持黑人政客,正是美国黑人愚蠢可悲之处,顺便提一下,美国黑人生活最悲催的地方往往是黑人担任市长,警察局长,school board trustee的地方

咱赞同,在美国黑人占多数的城市,黑人选市长应该看政纲。同样,要是在加拿大华人占多数的城市,华人选市长不看政纲只选华人,当然也是愚蠢可悲的。

Policy matters. Race should never be a factor for someone to vote. Promoting a candidate by her race is really racism.

Policy does matter for me if Chinese is the majority in Toronto, or Chinese had been the mayor at least once.

Understood what you mean. Just could not agree with it after reading the reasons you provided. :)

I don't see that African-Americans has improved with their social status since Obama was elected.

"Barack Obama’s election as the nation’s first black president appears to be the spur for this sharp rise in optimism among African Americans."

I'm quite sure African-Americans felt great about that, same were black people around the world. However, one feels great of himself does not mean he is indeed regarded great.

Feel great, feel confident..., that's what African-Americans already earned. Is it not good? My younger son is confident to run for MP, but not for prime minister of Canada as no Chinese has win it. Man, let's make a history for our children.

I thought you were talking about 形象, which means the social status, or how others view an racial group.

Feeling great and confident are important parts of 形象 (perception). The Governor General is not elected, and then the impact is very limited. If a Chinese is the prime minister, would not it greatly change the public perception of Chinese in Canada?

Not really. Weed users feel great and confident but others don't perceive them in the same way. In mature societies like Canada and USA, people don't perceive a race by the race of certain elected leaders.

Cornell study: Barack Obama's election changed African-American perceptions of being black

It does not say that it changed other people's perception of African-Americans.
On the other hand, IMHO, only an immature racial group would feel inspired when a member gets good achievement.

Nteta and Greenlee’s findings dovetail with other research that documented a decline in racial prejudice during the 2008 presidential campaign — suggesting that Obama’s rise may really affect how people perceive African Americans.

1, Obama got elected because people voted for policy other than for race. 2, It reflected the maturity of American society. 3, Perceptions on African-Americans haven't been changed simply because a black politician won that election.
