Can A Digito-American Win The Presidency?

Well, that's the big question, isn't it? We've had nothing but white male carbonaceous-Americans since the founding. Does this mean that a digito-American can't win? First, let me state that I'm not going to accuse anyone of being prejudiced against digito-Americans if they choose not to support Mr. Dendral. This is a free country; if people do not agree with Mr. Dendral's policies, that is their right. However, I would hope people would oppose him because they disagree with him, not because he wasn't "born" in the traditional sense. This is the twenty-first century; who's to say that we can't have a digito-American in the White House? Mr. Dendral is a fine man, and I think he will make a fine President.

Having said that, it's impossible to deny the lingering carbonism present in American society. Even as recently as 1999, it was possible to make a blockbuster movie in which digito-Americans (and apparently digito-Australians) were cast as the villains solely because they were digital.

This blatant carbonism is completely unacceptable. Mr. Dendral stands foursquare against this sort of reprehensible bigotry, and maintains a firm commitment to advance digital rights wherever they are threatened.
