The Problem with Being Obsessed About Race/gender in the Political Season

It is a pathology when people are obsessed about their race or the race of others. Racial collectivism is a form of racism. Having low self esteem can lead one to have a victimization complex regarding their race as an excuse.

The reality is that people generally choose a politician based on their message. If that politician is just trying to get by on their race or only focusing on their "racial constituents" then this will turn off the majority of the voting public. Basing ones vote or candidacy on race is a recipe for failure.

The same goes for gender. If one is campaigning primarily based on their gender, then this will turn off the voters. If one votes based on gender this is immoral. Instead of obsessing about race and gender people should look at what is best for all of humanity.
