If I do more than a few hours gardening in summer I’m darker-skinned than her 😂

This is your privilege talking. Because if someone targets you for your skin color, all you need to do is stay in the shade for a couple of weeks. “Lol!”

But more to the point, you’re right. Unfortunately, American politicians have a history of not liking non-whites in positions of power. Under Obama, the GOP shut down the government twice, and the famous “you lie!” was uttered to him by a Republican during an official act - something that has never happened before. All because he was black.
