Diversity in Support of the Status Quo

Colbert from Iraq has an Arab American and an Iraqi Kurd -- who are rabidly pro war. We have a totally pro-establishment president continuously and gratuitously referred to as "black" and an establishment supreme court nominee continuously referred to as "Latina". Are the limits of "diversity" in fixing actual problems clear yet? Why didn't the farcical experience with Powell and Rice make them clear?
