What matters most is one's politics, not the color of one's skin or one's genitalia.
That said, many of us wanted Elizabeth Warren to run, but she evidently did not think now was the right time.
But the main thing is to not judge people by the color of their skin or their genitalia when considering things for which neither is relevant. If everyone did that, then we would not need to be concerned about such things at all. But in the real world, you are right to be displeased that we have no good nonwhite women options.
The lesson is, your enemy cannot be judged by race or gender. Too bad most people have trouble with this concept.
