President-elect Joe Biden has tapped Deb Haaland, a Democratic congresswoman from New Mexico, to serve as the first Native American interior secretary in a historic pick for a department that oversees the country’s vast natural resources, including tribal lands.

A member of Pueblo of Laguna, Haaland, 60, would become the first descendant of the original people to populate North America to serve as a Cabinet secretary. It marks a turning point for a 171-year-old institution that has often had a fraught relationship with 574 federally recognized tribes.

Why would anyone be impressed with Biden picking someone based on nothing more than being a minority.

You know she is not qualified? Make the argument.

Already did. When you lefties consider things like race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc. in nominations, the very best you possible get, with possibly being the key word, is the most qualified in that identity politics category not the most qualified PERSON. Being diverse in order to look like a box of crayons isn't a good idea. While it may make give you warm fuzzies inside, it's not putting the best people in the position if you automatically eliminate people because they don't identify with the flavor of the day.

A prime example is the Congressional Black Caucus pushing for a BLACK defense secretary. The emphasis was on BLACK not on defense. In other words, they don't care if the get the most qualified as long as the person is BLACK.
