Pointing out people as "Look, here's his black one, oh, wait, he's got an entire two!" speaks of that person's mindset.
Just like talk of the 'black community' or the 'black voter' ...
- No one points out how many whites or men anyone has hired, nor speaks of them as a monolithic demographic that thinks, acts, and votes in one particular way.
Hiring a couple of people and pointing out their skin tone as proof of how whomever doesn't mean all the mean things they say about 'those people' merely shows that they view these people as something separate. Bending to hire them as if it was some amazing accomplishment to be applauded merely reflects their motives.
People are people, not props for photo ops.
