Re: Hey Canada!

Yes, I think America is more sexist than racist. Woman's sufferage and the rights granted to them have been around for almost 100 years while civil rights were granted 50 years ago. More headway has been made on the issue of race during that time than since the 1910's.

Black men have generally high salaries than white women (Source http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2002/2002170.pdf)
Interestingly though, Asian women make more than black men. First female president of Asian descent perhaps?
In the workplace at least, it still appears that sex is more than a determining factor than race.

So, yes, I think we are much more progressive when it comes to race. Do I think we will eventually have presidents that are female, or non-christian (practicing), and/or homosexuals? Sure, just not yet.

I'm sure more than a few people would find a way to turn that into a sexist remark.
