A new Conservative cabinet is in charge of the United Kingdom—but it’s missing something. None of the top ministers are white men. This is an odd omission considering white men built Great Britain and its once- mighty empire, and whites still make up the majority of the population. Yet, they’re not represented in the governing cabinet of the party that’s supposed to advocate for their interests. Rather than see this as a problem, Conservatives are celebrating their lack of white men as proof they love diversity more than the Labour Party. The same disturbing trend appears in our own Republican Party, which spends more time fawning over their token minorities than fighting for the people who actually vote for them. This Cuckservative diversity pandering only reflects acceptance of dispossession, and it will fail as a political strategy.
Britain’s new prime minister, Liz Truss, is white. But not one of her three top ministers are. The foreign minister, James Cleverly, and finance minister, Kwasi Kwarteng, are black. Suella Braverman, the new home secretary, is Indian.
This diversity push is not new. Boris Johnson, the departing Prime Minister, boasted the most “diverse” cabinet in British history; all three of his finance ministers were non-white. The campaign to replace Johnson as party leader was similarly diverse. Six of the ten candidates were non-white, and only two were white men. Truss’s final competitor was Rishi Sunak, an Indian [Liz Truss’ Cabinet is Britain’s first without a white man in one of the top jobs, Reuters, September 7, 2022].
