I hope you just forgot the < /sarc > tag, but just in case- nope. Your original "By all means, let’s choose our candidate based upon the color of his skin as the number one priority" did not require a tag, the sarcasm was plain to see.
In evaluating prospects for public office color/ethnicity etc. should not matter with otherwise qualified candidates, would you agree? And if the best guy is lily white, coal black or anywhere between (or not even a guy!), we should lend our support.
Now, agreeing on who is the best...that's the tough one!
