Why is ethnic diversity good? Even today, people of different ethnicities can bring with them unique experiences that may not have been available to people of other ethnicities. I'll bet Barack Obama spending time in a Muslim community gives him a better perspective on our troubles in the Middle East than George W. who spent his childhood in Texas. It's not really the color of skin, but more where the person has come from.
In politics you're a combination of two things: your history and your abilities. A broad spectrum of backgrounds and abilities means more perspectives to draw from when making a decision.
