You've got that right. They are only for minorities as long as said minority individual toes the party line. If Kerry had won and was nominating a black SoS, hispanic AG etc...you can be sure we would be innundated with stories of how "diverse" his cabinet is.
Bush has the most diverse cabinet and appointments in history yet we hear nothing about it. Why? Because they are minorites who don't follow the victim mentality that liberalism requires to sustain itself. If you don't need government help then you don't need liberals.
Its just another example of liberal media bias. Minorites reach amazing heights and are not celebrated as such because they go against the orthodoxy.
Liberals only support minorities in keeping them as a permanent underclass.
I'll bet the farm that Kerry and the rest of his crowd run around in clubs and groups that would never let any minorities mix in.
