ELECTIONS & COMMON SENSE?

Election Day has come and gone.  Now, for days, we will hear the results as well as the "talking heads" reasons for this or that.  Why this or that happened in--you name it!
But here is what strikes me about reporting on elections;  we are hearing that "The first Muslim female has won a seat in Congress."  "A black woman is in a very close race for Governor."  Or even this, "The first openly gay person has been elected Governor." 
What is my point?  This is it; we, as a people, are expected to be just that, "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union,etc."  Yes, the preamble to the Constitution suggests to all of us that we are ONE!  But we the people are bombarded daily, everywhere you turn, by "Words of division", words used by every reporter and TV "Talker".  Even our governments require us to, on every form we fill out, declare "Race, Sex (a half dozen spaces there), age etc.
When the Census is taken every citizen is asked to fill in all these spaces, and more.  Universities have "Quotas", so many Black, Hispanic, Asian and, oh yes, Whites.
Tell me this, how can the "Hacks" in Washington expect the people to be "Color blind" when they are not?...Medicineman!
