I could never understand why people say that minority leaders have to represent minority issues. I thought that it was good enough just to get an ethnic minority or a woman (of any race) representing you in politics. I mean, should a pro-life female politician be seen as negative just because she doesn't believe in abortion? Or what about hispanic or Asian politicians who are not pro-ethnic languages but for the improving of access to English language classes for immigrants (left wing support groups seem to be for ethnic language labels and signs in the respective communities)? Are these peoplegood representatives/role models for their respective communities or are they not?
