Diversity shaming. The ugliest media trend of the 2016 primary season. [View all]

"Too Black", "Too white", now, "Asians aren't really minorities".

Disgusting, all of it. All states and all Americans "count".

Fact: Sanders has won some of our country's most diverse states, and so has Hillary.

Enough of this ugliness. Stop trying to divide us up. Try some real analysis for a change.
