Thanks for adding some clarity. There are several stats connected to ethnicity that are more about poverty, education, and health than skin colour, heritage, etc. I wonder if looking at those issues and focusing on similar need rather than differences, if we would make progress for everyone. All of the above issues are certainly divisive, as you say, and apparently the skin colour of our leadership does not change that, especially if that is the primary descriptor of said leadership.
