Definitely a white Hispanic (or mostly white). There are plenty of Cuban-American Republicans in Florida. The only Asian I can see getting votes is a white-passing one like Nikki Haley.

I disagree. I think a Middle Eastern/West Asian is a lot more likely than other non-white Asians. People like Dr. Oz, Jerry Seinfeld, Paula Abdul, Steve Jobs, Casey Kasem, etc. are all accepted by mainstream America because they accept them as white. Non-white Asians are perceived as "forever foreigners."

Yeah definitely a white Hispanic -- Marco Rubio is one (Cuban-American) and no one seems to mind (although that's probably because everyone thinks he's European)

Marco Rubio is clearly mixed-race and I doubt most people think he's European. Even with actual racially white Hispanics like Ricky Martin, Hispanic usually takes precedence of white in terms of how others perceive them. The only exception is when people have no idea that they're Hispanic like with Alexis Bledel.

I think a Latino president would be more likely. There are already Latinos in the primaries, whereas I haven't even seen any Asian candidates.

Bobby Jindal was in there for like a second.
