California governor Newsom appointed a Latino man to replace VP-elect Kamala Harris as Senator. A Los Angeles Times columnist insisted that it should have been a Black woman. I sent this letter in response (not published):
So many who are complaining about this are minimizing the VP-elect. Yes, there will be no Black woman in the Senate. But instead, there's a first-ever Black woman Vice President! That's a pretty good trade-off.
