Why are you making this an issue about race? We had an African-American speaker of the PA house in the 80s.

Perhaps it's more pertinent that we finally have a woman in the position?

Either way, this is not "identity politics" as that would be that she was elevated solely because of her identity... not because, say, she was a well-liked minority speaker for 3 years prior?
