* Have a speech impediment and not be held back, even from high office like president of the us.

(I have rebutted arguments that "It isn't racist to discriminate against blacks for having the black accent because it just proves they are uneducated and inarticulate" by saying "George W. Bush. If articulate speech is really the criteria, how did he ever get to be president? And if we can hire an inarticulate white guy but not an inarticulate black guy, then something in there is still racist somehow, no?")
