They are diverse. Many different candidates are being considered there.

Well...you~

Yr going to dismiss them because they don't post in the AA group? That's as ridiculous as trying to dismiss any of the Australians at DU who don't post in the Australia Group. I'd kick anyone's arse who I caught lecturing them in GD and telling them they need to talk to Australians blah blah blah.

Compare Australians to Af Am, okay. How many Australians do we have on the board compared to AA. Apples to Oranges.

However, I have to say, AA members are leaving this place in droves. Want to ask yourself why?

Wait!

I'd kick anyone's arse who I caught lecturing them in GD and telling them they need to talk to Australians blah blah blah.

So are you going to kick peoples asses for white 'splaining to Af Am what is important to them?

Just saying.
