Some people don't understand.

I prefer non-white cultures to predominate in US. And women.

Only way we survive.

1. I wish it wasn't obvious that any particular color or gender clearly has more power than others

Real equality, IOW

This of course means that non-white males have some catching up to do, to be sure.

2. Wait -- wut?

You don't think Pat Boone's version of Tuttie-Fruttie was superior to Little Richard's?

heh

3. I am a white female and ashamed to be one in this country now. I totally agree with you.

4. Its not just about shame..

Props to my mom and dad for embedding in me how interesting and valued other - ALL - cultures are!!

I am just so psyched to see what POC and women will do running the world!

5. Diversity is strength. Always was, always will be.

Spread the money wide in a society, strength.
Spread the power around to all sorts of people with lots of different kind of ideas to bring to a problem ... strength.
Diversify your savings on a personal level ... strength.
Eat a variety of different foods - strength.
Do a variety of things - strength.
Have a lot of different kinds of friends - strength.

It is the basic law of nature.

My best dogs have come from diverse breeds/gene pools: HYBRID VIGOR!!!

6. From what I've read,

Iceland has done a pretty good job with women in leadership.

8. It's a Republican thing

Ask Willard Romney

or Addison McConnell

Or the birth names of Nikki Haley (Nimrata Haley née Randhawa}

or Bobby (Piyush) Jindal

Not a damn thing wrong with "Americanizing" your name unless you do it for political points...
