The U.S. Congress has been far too white and far too male for far too long.

But that’s all about to change.

Come January 2019, a wave of minorities — people of color, women, and women of color — will march into the Capitol and rattle those hallowed halls with their voices of logic and reason. It will probably make a few of the good ol’ establishment Republicans there quite uncomfortable. Good.

True. I was just wondering what 'guno' thought should count more, a person's Talent, or a person's skin color? (I think I already know the answer, I just wanted 'guno' to spell it out for everybody)
 
Don't you think Americans ought perhaps to be both taught and allowed to choose people to represent them rather than their masters?
 
Question is ,can a rich white man understand what it is like to be a woman, a minority or a poor person who struggles. If Congress looked more like the population, it might do a lot better job.

It does.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_the_United_States

As of July 2016, White Americans are the racial majority. African Americans are the largest racial minority, amounting to an estimated 12.7% of the population. Hispanic and Latino Americans amount to an estimated 17.8% of the total U.S. population, making up the largest ethnic minority.[8] The White, non-Hispanic or Latino population make up 61.3% of the nation's total, with the total White population (including White Hispanics and Latinos) being 76.9%.[9]
 
It doesn't. Over half the population are women. Only 123 going in office this week. 19, count them, 19 are repubs. Repubs don't have interest in serving anyone but wealthy whites.
Odd, you argue that Congress does represent the population and provide stats, that proves the opposite.

Reporting the effects of the demographic shift is racist? Do tell
Fewer Births Than Deaths Among Whites in Majority of U.S. States


WASHINGTON — Deaths now outnumber births among white people in more than half the states in the country, demographers have found, signaling what could be a faster-than-expected transition to a future in which whites are no longer a majority of the American population.

Right. It's called democracy. The people chose to vote primarily for white males because that is primarily who runs for office. People advocate the voters choosing officials to represent them and then complain when they don't like the winners.

Bad argument. You are saying people choose to vote for white men because they have no choice.

Is your question rhetorical? Guno is a race hustler in the mold of BACasscancer who by the way hasn’t been around. Nature abhors a void. Lose one race hustler gain another.

They may not have a choice since about 65% of candidates are white males. But, even if they do have a choice, nobody is going to vote for a candidate just because they are not a white male if they really care about the political views of their representatives. Voting against somebody because of their gender or race is pure bigotry.
 
You guys vote according to the color of a person's epidermis or what genitalia they have? Glad to see you've moved beyond racism and sexism.
