The Party of Diversity

To those of us who have been following the Republican and Democratic candidates for a while, it came as no surprise to watch the Democratic debate and see five white people talking about unfairness for minorities. Watching the #DemDebate hashtag, one theme kept popping up that I didn’t expect. Many didn’t realize that all of the Democratic candidates were white.

I know. It sounds funny. Just in case I was crazy (and since I didn’t want to go back and read through hundreds of Tweets for confirmation), I Googled it and found I wasn’t the only one that noticed.

Let’s take a look at some of them…

First observation: The Democratic candidates disappointingly lack the ethnic diversity of the Republican candidates. #DemDebate

Is this a presidential debate or a white power rally? #DemDebate http://pic.twitter.com/Bq0pGZ8mpt

the most diverse part of this debate is @HillaryClinton's white lady salwar kameez. #DemDebate

A whole lotta patronizing talk and savior complex from white male democratic candidates on "poor blacks." #DemDebate

@Talkmaster New paint color – Democrat Debate White. Only comes in eggshell. You can scrub it all you want, it will never come clean.

I guess Jim Webb is the angry white guy of this debate. No affirmative action for latinos? #demdebate

Affirmative action is not black privilege. It’s an attempt to push back against the monsoon tidal wave of white privilege.

Webb: white mansplaining on affirmative action. #DemDebate

Is the world really turned upside down or is are minorities and women really able to find opportunity within the GOP? To us, the answer is obvious. Diversity is strength and the Republicans
