Though he's always running for something, he currently doesn't hold an office. Again there is not even 1 black Republican governor, senator or House member.
How many Korean or Native American or Middle Eastern governors are their?
I think he was referring to the fact that there are 3 minority governors and dozens of minority congressmen who are Democrat. While there are zero to my knowledge who are Republican.

Wonder why that is?
Well if you look the registering rolls you will the see the percentage of black on the Republicans and see why.
Here are some interesting numbers in Texas. SO what party is racist against Hispanics?
Quote:
Since Republicans became the statewide majority in 1994, 8 minority Texans have held statewide office; yet in the 122 years that Democrats controlled the State (1872-1994), only 4 minority Texans held statewide office.
It took Democrats 114 years to elect a single Hispanic to statewide office. The Democrat establishment later tried to defeat him because he was too conservative.
Under Republican leadership, 5 Republican Hispanics have held statewide office. Currently, Victor Carrillo serves as a commisioner of Texas’ powerful Railroad Commission, and Justice David Medina serves on the Texas Supreme Court. Others who have moved into even higher positions include Al Gonzales, appointed by President George W. Bush as U.S. Attorney General and Tony Garza now serving as Ambassador to Mexico.
When the Republicans became the majority in the Texas Legislature in 1869, they established a system of free public schools to educate all the children of the state something Democrats had refused to do.
In 1998, Republican Governor George W. Bush created the Office of Border Initiatives, which facilitates trade and investment opportunities for Texas communities and companies along the border.
In 1999, Republican Lt. Governor Rick Perry established the first ever standing Committee on Border Affairs to address needs along the Texas Mexico border.
In 2001, Anglo Democrat men comprised only 20% of all Texas House members, but were named to 36% of all chairmanships by the Anglo Democrat Speaker. Hispanics were shortchanged because their support was taken for granted by the Democrat elite.
In 2003 however, Hispanics received approximately a 5% increase in chairmanships by the Republican Speaker of the House.
As of October 2004, Governor Perry has appointed over 300 Hispanics to different state commissions.
Under the administration of Republican Governor Rick Perry, state agencies have invested more resources in the 32-county border region than under Democrat leaders at any time in history.

Wow. The Republicans must be doing an awful job of promoting all of this good news to the Hispanics. Because they are voting Democrat now 3-1 nationwide. After being about 50-50 in 2000. Isn't that weird.
