If it was ethnocentrism, wouldn't they have simply banned them from running?

In the Benin election, the mullato guy received the same share as votes as another Black candidate who lost the election before him (34%).

And with Jean Ping, the results were much more narrow. Losing by only 1.6%.

I can also name another non-Black leader of a Black country. Edward Seaga was Prime Minister of Jamaica from 1980 to 1989.
