Congratulations to her. But why must this news outlet describe her as a person of color? ... like that is the only focus ......My family members are Asian, and much , much more fair skinned than any of my European relatives and friends... No matter what skin color , ethnicity or religion a person may be .....the people vote for a persons values , integrity and campaign promises....I wish her well...no matter what color she is....
