Those two things are not the same.

One is a statement made by a candidate that is at best insensitive to people of different races.

The other is a poorly specified scenario where a black person does not fit in? For what reason do they not fit in? Is it because of their race or something else.

It’s hard to fit in when you are a small minority.
