What you're describing is a very coarse form of diversity based on
physical characteristics. A white man who has lived his entire life as a
peasant in Ukraine may well have a very different outlook and life
experience to a white man who grew up in Australia. These two white men
could bring quite diverse viewpoints to any situation even though they
share some superficial characteristics.
I have always supported the most suitable candidates for any role,
irrespective of their physical characteristics. I will always continue to
do so.
