House Republicans Do Not Solve Diversity Problem

So your basically calling everyone affiliated with the Republican party racist because Republican women or ethnic races men haven’t stepped up for candidacy of these positions. This article is a joke.

  No, the article doesn’t actually say that. You protest too much, methinks. But I don’t blame, because while not every Republican may be racist, the party as a whole most certainly is.

The issue here is the existence of all these committees. They’re all illegitimate reasons for government to butt into things.

I don’t think this is fair at all. Look at all the different shades of pale and peach and tan. If that’s not diversity then there’s just no pleasing some people.

If Issa was had a dark complexion and more traditionally Arabic features it’s unlikely he would succeed in the GOP, which is now the party of (some) white men. There are an awful lot of white men on the Democratic side too… we still have a long way to go.
