The left likes to talk about diversity at every turn.
In every crevice of any discussion about just about anything, you can bet they’ll find a way to crow-bar into the conversation.

That is, of course, except in one situation: when it’s the Tories who get diversity right. Funny, that.
Of Boris Johnson resigns Last Thursday, 11 hopeful Tories emerged from the wreckage and declared they were ready to steer alongside the conservative ship.
There is one notable change from previous leadership elections: the sheer number of ethnic minority candidates.
As it stands now, six of the 11 candidates who will become the next Tory leader have African and/or Asian backgrounds. That’s a whopping 55 percent.
These include cabinet staples such as the former health minister Sajid Javida British Pakistani who has held half a dozen cabinet positions to date.
Pat on the back
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Not yet anyway.
former chancellor Rishi Sunak – born in Southampton to Indian parents who emigrated from East Africa – has the most support so far.
His replacement as chancellor, the Iraqi-born Nadhim Zahawi is also in the running.
Then you have rising Tory star and no-nonsense powerhouse Kemi Badenochborn in London to Nigerian parents, who will no doubt be the antidote to the anti-British, gender-fanatic, race-obsessive nonsense we’ve all had enough of.
Completing the six are Attorney General Suella Bravermanborn in Wembley to parents of Indian descent, and Rehman ChistiaMember of Parliament for Gillingham and Rainham, who was born in Pakistan before moving to Kent at the age of six.
Minister of Internal Affairs Come on Patelborn in London to a Ugandan-Indian family, was also allowed to participate.
These candidates did not get to where they are today thanks to symbolic diversity initiatives, such as the “all-ethnic minority shortlists” that many Labor MPs have endorsed.
Nor have they come because Tory leaders or party members want to pat themselves on the back for electing minority candidates.
That’s just not how they do things.
These ethnic minority candidates are where they are because they’ve worked damn hard and because they live in a country where the color of your skin no longer seals your fate.
The fact that they are active is a testament not only to them, but also to the opportunities this country can offer.
So, since the left usually can’t get enough of diversity and representation, you might think they’d pass on this as a rash.
What could be more symbolic of British openness and how far we’ve come in this country than not one, not two, but SIX potential ethnic minority prime ministers?
How refreshing, how welcome, how exciting to reach such an incredible milestone in the long history of our island nation.
But we haven’t heard anything like that.
Empty platitudes
Instead, we’ve had a collective Freudian slip of left-wing, Tory-hating henchmen, who have revealed themselves as the real bigots, who laugh and ridicule these candidates as bullies on the playground.
When the ethnic minority candidates announced their bids, this left-wing mob was completely unleashed.
“Do you think the members of your party are ready to choose a brown man, Rishi?” asked attorney Jolyon Maugham, who found shame after clubbing a fox while wearing a kimono.
]’Can you imagine a black or Asian person leading the conservative party? Others argue that the concept is at odds with the party’s core values,” thought Nadine White, the so-called Race Correspondent for The Independent (who is ironically black).
By “others,” White means himself, of course, since I’ve never heard anyone argue such an imbecile, politically illiterate point of view.
Then you have people like Dr. Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, the hysterical, one-woman British-bashing machine, who says the ethnic minority Tories running are a “gift for white supremacists.”
What a crazy logic.
These naysayers can’t bear the fact that we have such a racially diverse pool of candidates for one reason: it shatters their twisted narrative.
The story that Britain is a racist cesspool and that the Conservatives are the big bad wolf who comes to eat your black grandmother, while the innocent left in their little red hoods looks on shocked and helpless.
The reality is they can’t get over it’s the ethnic minority Conservatives and not those in the Labor Party who are doing so well.
They only want diversity and representation when it’s on THEIR terms.
They are ashamed that the Labor Party has produced only ONE Secretary of State for Ethnic Minorities.
The Conservatives have had three times as many. (Not to mention that for God’s sake they fail to pick a female leader.)
They are humbled that this Tory government has had the most ethnically diverse cabinet in our history.
They are ashamed that the party they spend every hour of the day smearing racists has managed to nurture so much ethnic minority talent without the virtue-signalling fanfare of empty platitudes about “diversity and inclusion.”
I want the best person for the job to win, white, black or brown.
But I have to say that the look on leftist faces when a Tory becomes the first African or Asian prime minister in our history will be completely priceless.
