Ah...but I didn't say U.S. president. There are many presidents of companies that are minorities or female. But when the word president is said...one thinks of white male. Even though the word president applies more to than just President of the United States of America.

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)

I'm a young black male and when I think of an authority figure a white male pops into my head instantly. That's the case for many minorities. That's what we have been conditioned into thinking an authority figure is or looks like.
