Correct me if I’m wrong, but Clarence Thomas is black.

“I think [if I was a white woman] it could have changed some of the dynamics. But I think it is very clear when you have a senator, like Senator Simpson, saying something like ‘sexual harassment is crap,’ then they weren’t willing to deal with sexual harassment of any woman… I think [Senator Strom Thurmond] would not have embraced Clarence Thomas had I been a blonde female. His constituents, many of his supporters, would not have allowed it.”
