Women are not a minority in any population around the world, and should not be singled out as such. That's very politically correct. I am not even sure that conservative women in America are a minority amongst American women. Conservative women are a minority only amongst elected officials.<br />I am a woman who worked more than three decades in a profession considered exclusively manly. I am an engineer. That makes me part of a minority amongst engineers, but not a minority in the cultural sense. The same goes for conservative women in politics, they deserve a separate article, not to be mixed into an ethnical breakdown.<br />Time has come to get rid of the hyphenation, for even many people amongst minorities find it offensive. They say it over and over that would be nice to be considered and called Americans. That would be a tangible difference in approach between the guilt-ridden democrats and those who managed to exorcize their anger by becoming truly color-blind.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14194181472081845638noreply@blogger.com
