I agree with mimami. None of the other candidate's citizenship was questioned as much as Obama's. At least he was born in a state. McCain was born in the Panama Canal zone, but you do not see coverage of people demanding for a copy of his citizenship.

My ethnicity is Filipino. I was born and raised here in the US. I have a BA in English and Psychology. However, I still get the occassional comment when I first meet someone "Oh you speak English so well," or "Where are you from really?" After I just answered I'm from Jersey. My husband who's Caucasian doesn't get these kinds of remarks/questions.

So when I see this kind of racist and zenophobic attitude I am not at all surprised.
