"It’s no surprise that Americans support a guy of any color before we support the white woman; non-white men got the vote in the U.S. a full fifty years before women did. As a nation we are historically more open to color when it comes with a Y chromosome."

Ignoring the Geraldine Ferraro-esque tone of this statement, while the 15th Amendment was ratified in 1870, this ignores the repression of black voting rights throughout the United States, not to mention the Jim Crow Era and southern segregation. Women surely have gotten the short end of the stick in the United States, but I surely guarantee that it does not compare to the historic treatment of African-Americans.
