For the past 30 years Republicans have argued that our system should be color-blind and that hiring and selection should be based solely on qualifications and not on racial preference and quotas.

I believe the appointments were, by and large, based on preference in the hope of attracting the minorities' votes---which stand a snowball's chance of ever delivering.

This staffing represents pandering in its purest form.

For English press one.
