Stealth Minorities

Via Brendan Nyhan, some puzzling remarks from a leader of the white supremacist community:

“I haven’t seen this much anger in a long, long time,” said Billy Roper, a 36-year-old who runs a group called White Revolution in Russellville, Ark. “Nothing has awakened normally complacent white Americans more than the prospect of America having an overtly nonwhite president.”

Have we had a covertly nonwhite president? Warren Harding, perhaps?
