Reply #10: Kristof says voters more likely to discriminate based on gender than race

[OzarkDem]

so how does this mean Obama is at a disadvantage?

"Americans have typically said in polls that they are less willing to vote for a woman than a black, and Shirley Chisholm (a black woman who ran for president in 1972) always said that she encountered more prejudice because of her sex than her race."

In light of these facts, why does he not lament the fact that Clinton is having to deal with sexist voters?

Because he is a man, I suppose.
