Not a lot of diversity to be seen.

1. I don't see a lot of faces that reflect our nation...or hell...

even my workplace.

Glad to see this has made the mainstream.

2. Several DUers have posted

about that already. But it needs to be repeated, because not everyone sees every post, to say the least.

And last week there were some here who seemed to think that the cameras at the DNC were showing more diversity than actually existed there. Nope. The Democratic Party has very specific rules about racial and ethnic diversity, including GBLT inclusion. Of course, those who think citizenship in this country should be restricted to whites only* are terrified of Democrats and diversity.


*And of course Whites Only is understood to mean God-fearing Commie-hating Christians who believe in the literal word of the Bible, and not white folks who are Jews or atheists or worse.
