@thatguyoverthere That's exactly what's wrong with that kind of thinking that senator/MP/whatever is appropriate in your country who is technically a minority somehow represents this minority. It's their rich and powerful social group they most often care about, not the people whom they share ethnicity/skin colour/sex/gender with.
@thatguyoverthere And I'm not against that — that's perfectly understandable they can use anything in their arse nal to achieve their goal if that doesn't break any law, but people trying to convince everyone else that some things can be fixed by "better representation" are kinda missing the point IMO. These people have more in common with other professional politicians than with average person of coulour or man or woman or transgender person…
@thatguyoverthere And I'm not against even that — go ahead, try it, if that works we'll all admit it and say thank you, but don't try to impose that on those who don't find that theory believeable. That's not how representation works. There are a bunch of straight white dudes there, but they don't represent me in any way and I hate most of them, I find it hard to believe that picking more of the same kind of people, but with different exterior is going to fix things 🤷
