A consequence of identity politics
A white woman and a black man compete for the Democratic presidential nomination. Party leaders fear that if the black man loses many blacks won't vote Democratic in the general election, but they also worry that if the white woman loses then many normally Democratic voting white women will turn Republican in the general election. So what do some party leaders want to do to solve their identity politics problem? They want to give the nomination to a white male! (HT Instapundit)
