You can't treat people as people if you're stuck on their race or their gender......... as long as that race is non-white, or that gender is non-male.
Soft racism/sexism is still racism/sexism.
If that piece really wanted to compliment the Democrats versus the Republicans, it would have done better by those Democrats by refusing to allow the only 'certified' Anglo male in the group a triple-generic description (region, hygiene and profession) to his rivals' singular-loaded.
Nothing's changed. I want them to.
