Just like the "MUST have a Black woman" as Vice President regardless of her qualifications or even her popularity.
Or Biden picking the person (below) because they "MUST have a transgender" as well...
As for "persons of color"... are Chinese, Japanese and Koreans regarded as POC? Or is it only the Chinese? How about Latinos... so many of them are of European descent, but are put in the same POC bag? What about Native Indians, do they like being called POC?
Also I never understood why Americans that have a small % of Black, look white, yet are classified as Black... very confusing.
It's so much less confusing in most of the rest of the world where White is white, black is black or African, Mixed races are Colored or Mulatto, Chinese are Chinese, Japanese are Japanese, Indians are Indians, Native Americans from North and South America are Indios, the mixture of Native Indians with Whites is Mestizo...
So much easier and more precise to identify the many races and their origins...
