SNL Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin


What do black and white share in common (not racist way)?

Both are color (obviously) and it tends to go with anything. Usually we have a habit of/like to look at the differences between objects or people but not as a “similarity”, however that “similarity’ tend to be a problem/topic that we need to focus on. The skit about Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin (SNL) is one of those examples.  They are running for President/Vice President, using different campaigns with different objectives/ideals to serve the country.  I find it interesting to see them standing side by side and mocking each other, using the stereotypes that people give it to them to address the sexism in presidency campaign. While Sarah Palin shows her female role and identity by dressing/acting in feminism, Hillary Clinton is more like independent/masculine type of candidate who would fight for equality if others refer her as week woman. No matter what media portrayed them, either a serious politician who would put politics on top of everything or a lovely, supportive housewife, Sarah Palin, I feel powerful as more women are engaging in politics, hopefully we will have female president like South Korea and other countries in the near future.
