This convention is supposed to be so diverse.
Then, why when they pan the camera across the audience do I see a delegation of about 95% whites?

2. Preconvention numbers...
Edited on Thu Sep-02-04 09:52 PM by theorist
claimed that the 14% of the delegation would be made up of minorities. What are your estimates?

(Just to let you know, the DNC delegation was 40% minorities. I guess Ed Gillespie didn't try hard enough on this one.)

3. They are diverse
They have caucasians and anglos. (ethnic diversity)

They have white people from the north, south, east and west (geographic diversity)

They have evangelicals and bible thumpers (religious diversity)

And they have racists and bigots (intellectual diversity)

6. It is diverse....
Fat White Rich Guys.
Fat White Redneck Guys.
Fat White pimple faced Nerds.
Fat White Trailer Trash Chicks.
Fat White former Trophy Wives.


and, lest we forget,

Each delegation has their Token Black, Latino, Asian, and Down Syndrome...

(Granted, "Those" people are hoisted up into camera view only occasionally)
