using the term race to describe someones skin colour or heritage should itself be viewed as racist.

there is one race: “human”

I disagree. I think it’s important to have a leader that respects and celebrates the nation’s cultural diversity. While it’s possible an old white man could, it’s pretty certain that an Indian/Jamaican woman was raised to appreciate multiple cultures.

I’m certain plenty of Americans feel ostracized by comments from politicians like Johnson or Pence, that see a nation of white Christians with some minorities peppered in.

i think you missed the point there. what i was writing was that it is complete bullshit to act as if there are different races among humans. people have different skin, bone structure, hair color etc. but are all humans. borders and leaders/politicians have nothing to do with it either

Gotcha. You wrote race and heritage, and both have cultural implications. I guess I read into your comment more than intended. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
