Donald Trump loses the convention ratings battle on first night https://t.co/OvGYy011GK

The first night of the Republican Convention was supposed to be “diversity night,” with the GOP’s two non-white leaders taking the stage. The remainder of the GOP convention will feature only whites.

I'm old enough to remember when we had a name for this.  We called it "Tokenism."  As in, having one black man (or one woman with a Puerto Rican mother, which still doesn't make her an "immigrant") proves your organization is not systemically racist.  Like a "token" is not a coin; the token can only has one purpose.

It was an adjective primarily used against conservatives; who were primarily, in those days, Republicans.

The more things change....
