In the National Arena, the GOP supports participants from all walks of life, but don’t have the minority participation to satisfy more liberal minds. This does not suggest racism; alternatively, it could suggest most Republican minorities are not interested in public office. Republican candidates are also not known to offer false or exaggerated claims of minority heritage (ahem, Warren). Some of the more obvious minorities in national politics are listed below. Others might be omitted because their genealogy and physical handicaps weren’t studied for this posting. And, as we are constantly reminded by the politically correct, judging or withholding judgment based on a surname or looks is considered profiling.
