For years and years, in American politics, ethnicity has been one of the candidate's qualities that has been considered before nomination .
That makes it right?
But what is "ethnicity" in this Estrada case? He's from Honduras (I think) ---how many Hondurans are there to vote for him? Silvestre Reyes and the Hispanic Caucus in Congress are working against his nomination ---maybe someone should have asked them ahead of time? I think the Republicans made a fatal mistake in assuming most Hispanics even care ---I live in an 80% hispanic area (no Hondurans) and I haven't seen one bumper sticker for him, I have not heard one workplace conversation about the issue. To me it might be like nomination a French immigrant and expecting all Americans with any European ancestors to demand he be nominated because we felt part of the same ethnic group.
