I'd bet the majority instantly picture an older white male. As I said in that post being white isn't a ticket to the top with no worries. Not at all. But those little subtle things DO exist.

Thats because there hasn't been a black predsident yet, so why on earth would you picture any thing other than a older white male - thats what they have all been. As for authority figure, that is entirely subjective and you will find that the older white male idea will only figure heavily in younger white males who have white fathers (since this is the first authority figure most are used to)
