Perhaps this is nit-pciking, but how did race play a factor in Trump beating Hilary Clinton? Obama was a two-term president beating white opponents in both elections, and he probably would beat Trump even now if he could stand for a third term.
This despite the fact he didn't really change the status quo.
Obama was a strong enough candidate to overcome the bias but once you had an "average" candidate in Hillary, the bias to the right showed - although I'm sure there were other factors also
