No it isn't.  You are changing reality, which is a republican specialty.  A person's race or gender is very visible and cannot be hidden.  I have voted for qualified, liberal white men for most of my life.  Donald Trump used his gender and race as criteria: the big strong bull who uses women at will, and takes no cr*p from minorities and immigrants. That's why he appealed to so many.  I would never vote for Sarah Palin or Timothy Scott because of their ideologies, yet I love to see AA's and women who are liberal take their place in government.  Liberal is the key word.
