Lol Yes it is different for you as a black woman dummy. Everyone else has received reparations and has access to resources that YOUR people don't. Obviously you're not fighting for your own so I wouldn't expect any correction on the matter.

Isn't demanding someone be hired based on their skin color racist?

So why not speak up before ? We are in pandemic and holding up the cabinet appointments for what ? There are other ways to be heard without holding people hostage

Don the Con had it easier. He only had to have representation from whites, grifters and crooks. Most were all three.

A liason would be a nice inclusion…for now. Something is better than nothing as long as whoever it is has a voice and is qualified to be a good representative for the Asian-American communities while also being allowed to be at the table for Cabinet meetings AND allowed input.

Hire the right person, the most qualified, the best.
We can clearly see the pit falls of hiring by skin color rather than merit. If Duckworth and Hirono are poor examples, we must find some one of merit, to replace these two racist sobs.

So, Biden bowing down to these two crazed, liberal Senators, and then he changes course— that doesn’t give you pause for the next time some radical goon threatens a vote?

Those two women are a disgrace to the Asian community. Identity politics will be your downfall. This is in violation of the civil rights act . Good luck with that..

Color of skin can not be a criteria for hiring. That is racism!!!!

Even liberals are starting to see how this "choose by skin color" ideal is really creepy.

There are no Albinos on Biden's cabinet. Biden is a racist. I will not allow anymore confirmations until an emergency meeting is convened to get at least one Albino on his staff! Albinos are people with feelings. STOP THE HATE!

It works both ways guy. It also has to be someone who raises their hand and not just sit there waiting to be asked anything.
