Would you vote for a non-white Taoiseach?

I don't mean for this to be inflammatory or racist in anyway but I am writing an article for my blog at the moment about the american election and I speculated( emhpasis on speculated) that the majority of people in Ireland would not vote for a non-white Taoiseach?

I'd have nothing against one being taoiseach, once they can be understood talking

Gin talking:

I reckon that our politics are a bit too celeb and we get attached to them like puppys or something. The office of taoiseach should be a revolving door system whereby when someone throws mud at the taoiseach and some of it sticks there should be a new one straightaway! In that case it wouldnt matter about colour or sex or background, the face of Ireland would be ever changing until we get our corruption sorted out.
