We WANT more Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and Native Americans to become Republicans and change the way the "Good Ole Boys" function in America....three cheers for the "diversity" infiltration!!
And out of 64 possible "diversity" positions for CEO of a Fortune 500 only 4 are filled... ... whoever said institutional racism was a partisan thing? Not I. Minority representation in the upper levels of America sucks. Period. No matter the area of business or government or even entertainment and sports the overall trend is not to reflect the population demographics in force in the nation (the gender ones for that matter) but to bias them towards a white male dominated old boys club. This is news?

I guess those dark colored professional basketball and football players are really good old white boys in blackface or something. I wonder what the average salary of the races is in professional sports. You are the one who started this. Maybe I watch more of those sports than you do, though.
Now these people will be trotted out as "Model Minorities" and as soon as they no longer serve the needs of the Republican Party they will be quickly dispatched. Just like J.C. Watts, Colin Powell and the soon to be ousted Richard Steele.
I wondered why J. C. Watts, one of my favorite Republican politicians, dropped out. I guess hearing him talk about the reason must be like taking him for a liar but I don't think he is lying to cover for those good old boys.
LOL we have a Democratic PRESIDENT who is black in case people have forgotten. Funny to watch the GOP preaching about diversity to democrats.
Oh darn, I forgot what race our President is. I am always called a racist because I don't like him and I never stop to think about his race, or lack of it, when I say I don't like him.

Wow this sounds a lot like racism. It sounds like more "victim mentality". I guess is one constantly looks to be offended and constantly looks to feel disrepected, then it becomes a self fullfilling prophecy.
"In 2011, there will be more Republican minorities holding (1) governorships, (2) Senate seats and (3) representing majority-white House districts than Democrats...The biggest legacy of the Republican class of 2010 will be as much from its racial diversity as its impressive size"
And they didn't get there with an affirmative action appointment. The GOP voters elected them first in their respective primaries when they were running against GOP white guys (meant non-gender specifically) and then in the general election. Why? Because we liked them on the issues. So, can we stop all of this GOP racist bs, now?
Ahh, I see the trend. Republicans elect a few minorities, then minorities will migrate to the GOP, and then a massive white flight to the democrats.

Excellent post! Affirmative action was less about making things "fair" and more about politicians buying votes.
The only news here is that the republicans have finally acknowledged the long standing diversity in their party. Many (yes, lots) African-Americans are republican in the south. I have lots of older relatives that have been republican for 40+ years. Even my 95 year-old granddad has been a long standing republican.
