Is Sikh-led prayer at RNC a hollow tokenism gesture?

[LeftofLeft]

What's next? A Mexican hat dance to liven up the crowd?

Perhaps a small band of strolling Mariachi musicians dressed in native costumes opening Wednesdays convention events with the Star Spangled Banner? Or how about the hip-hop rap band NWA entertaining the crowd by doing some gangsta rap? Or maybe Pussy Riot can make a surprising appearance. Let's get serious GOP.

(CNN) -- The Republican National Convention will make history Wednesday night. Ishwar Singh, wearing a turban and beard, will take the stage and lead thousands of conservatives in prayer.

A liberal's worst nightmare......seeing diversity where it has always been.....in the GOP. Check the Democrat roots. Have they always been as tolerant, or have they used the "put ya'll back in chains" threat.

Guaranteed to happen. There will be grumbling from the good ole boys at the convention. Watch.

You are aware that Indian-American, female, REPUBLICAN South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is Sikh don't you? Conservatives don't put people in little groups to control them and maintain power like liberals. We are inclusive and tolerant. You aren't. Dumb ass.

why isn't her name nikki kaur haley, then?

Because conservatives value people for being people. They don't trade on hip niche identifiers like Barry Sotero did.

I'm sure you are equally offended when Obama and Biden change their speech patterns and adopt regional "accents" when they are giving speeches in front of southerners or blacks or hispanics or New Englanders or Texans. Right?

Bush, Jr. was the master of that. His fake Texas accent came and went throughout his time in DC. No one else in his family talks like that.
