'We look at any white man and think they too can lead and forget there are systemic reasons why white men are the people in power,' CNN guest Sayu Bhojwani remarked.
A Thursday CNN segment asking why the Democratic Party's top two 2020 candidates are white males zeroed in on how many Americans are simply comfortable with the appearance of white men in leadership roles.
"There is a tendency to look at the people who are already in leadership and say our future leaders should look just like that," Bhojwani said on CNN Thursday."And so there is obviously a lot, we see a lot, of white men in leadership and we look at any white man and think they too can lead and forget there are systemic reasons why white men are the people in power."
Bhojwani commented in a piece for The Daily Beast Wednesday about women of color slamming the"white male tilt" of the Democratic primary contenders. Thursday's CNN segment highlighted a quote from Pythia Public Affairs co-founder Alexis Grenell, who lamented other white men in the presidential race, including South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and former Texas representative Beto O'Rourke, who are gaining more immediate acceptance than female or minority Democratic candidates.
