Who’s the ‘Diversity Party’?

Univision reporter Jorge Ramos, who has bashed Donald Trump for his illegalimmigration rhetoric, has now turned his fire on Democrats.

He asked Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz why there was no Latino, AfricanAmerican or Asian candidate in the Democratic debate.

It’s true: The Democrats’ five presidential wannabes are all white.

Wasserman Schultz’s response? “We have Latinos and AfricanAmericans [in the Democratic Party] — first of all, our president of the United States, who is a Democrat, is AfricanAmerican . . . We have an absolute, demonstrated commitment to diversity, because our party nominated the first AfricanAmerican.” Fine, but look at what’s happening The Republican field includes one black (Ben Carson, who’s now in second place after Trump), two Latinos (Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio), an IndianAmerican (Bobby Jindal) a woman.

It’s tough to paint the GOP as the hotbed of racism, sexism and nativism when field is the one that reflects more diversity.

Wasserman Schultz claims there’s a broader range of groups among Democrats “up and down,” including “Hispanics, AsianPacific Islanders, AfricanAmericans, women, the LGBT community.”

Yet, as it happens, even on the state level, her party of beancounters can’t seem to compete with the Republican Party, which can point to more nonwhite, nonmale officials in key offices like governor and the US Senate — the very positions from which presidential candidates spring.

Indeed, the donkeys are so desperate to prove their party’s diverse that Hillary Clinton is now signaling that Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro (who’s never won a statewide race) is on her veep short list.

Yes, by the logic of Martin Luther King Jr., voters should choose a president not based on his skin color but on the content of his character — and his political views.

But for Democrats today, a candidate’s race and gender is critical. Which is why Clinton has made her top selling point the fact that she’s a woman.

This year’s candidates’ backgrounds, though, should make Democrats consider: If they truly care about diversity, they might want to become Republicans.
