While many Democrats and others on the Left have embraced this, it must be pointed out that choosing someone for a position based on race, to the exclusion of candidates from other races, is the textbook definition of racism. Outside a presidential appointment, such a hire would be a violation of the law.This is another example of Democrats' hypocrisy. Simply put, they really don’t care about racial discrimination so long as it is pleasing someone they think might vote for them.
The media tend to give Democrats the benefit of the doubt over such things. You can be sure that if former President Donald Trump had publicly promised to nominate a white man to the bench, his nomination of Neil Gorsuch would have been tainted. If he had chosen Amy Coney Barrett only after ruling out all nonwhite and male candidates, it would have been pretty ugly. But because it was a Democratic president nominating a black woman, the same standards don’t apply.
There is nothing in the Constitution, or any federal law, that states Supreme Court justices are to be selected based on the racial makeup of the population. If there were, then the presence of Justice Clarence Thomas on the court might raise concerns that African Americans are overrepresented at someone else's expense if they are permitted to make up two-ninths, or about 22%, of the court.
The law is the law, and it is the same law whether the judge reading it is white, black, Asian, Latino, or any other race or ethnicity. The notion that the Supreme Court must contain people of different races and genders is just propaganda created by Democrats to pander to voter groups and amass political power. At the very least, however, this sort of discrimination gives the lie to Democrats' typical accusations of racism.
