Why is it garbage? I'd agree that most liberal whites are in favor, or at least open-minded, to paying reparations. But white Republicans? Of the 22 minority rookie representatives elected to the House last year, only one was a Republican. There are 94 minority Democratic members of the House and Senate, and only 16 Republicans. Two-thirds of all GOP members of Congress are white men over 50, less than 40% of Congressional Democrats fit that category. That's not exactly the sign of a party or group of people that favors diversity. And it's not even including the largest minority group, women. The number of Republican women in the House dropped a whopping 43% from 2018 to 2019, from 23 Republican women in the House to just 13. Whatever else it may stand for, the GOP definitely isn't a party that represents demographic diversity in its leadership and congressional membership in any form.
