Are you saying that because she's African-American she's automatically qualified for an ethics council? Ethics isn't about who you are, it's about whose lives you value.

No, of course that's not what I'm saying.

I'm saying she is an intelligent, very well-accomplished member of the minority community. The kind of person you need on an ethics council.

Is there anything she's done (personally, directly) that you find upsetting? Or is just being politically conservative enough to disqualify her in your opinion?
