I find it very strange that Newsom automatically disqualified all Hispanic women from consideration, since Hispanics are at least as numerous as blacks in California, and at least as underrepresented. If I lived in California or was Hispanic, I'd be raising a ruckus.

I'm no longer a Damnocrat but i think the White elitists running the Party view Blacks as being representative of ALL lesser groups of color; Mex-Am, Chin-Am, Jap-Am, Native-Am, are a homogeneous group for a Senator of Color to adequately represent, conversely any of the others would have to contort themselves and apologize too often for NOT being Black enough or having sufficient race credentials to be down with the struggle. Now at Congressional, State, or Municipal levels they need more ethnical balance and refinement and that's where politicians of lesser colorings will be apportioned but showcased for their diverseness.
