Yang says he’s honored — and disappointed — to be the only nonwhite candidate at Dem debate by kadiatubman
“It’s both an honor and disappointment to be the lone candidate of color on the stage,” Yang said when asked what message the lack of racial diversity sent to viewers and voters.
Hours before the debate, Booker tweeted, “It's a shame that tonight's #DemDebate won't reflect the diversity of our party.” Yang attributed the lack of racial representation on stage to income inequality and the influence of campaign contributions. “The way we fix this is by taking Martin Luther King’s message of a guaranteed minimal income, a freedom dividend of $1,000 a month for all Americans. I guarantee if we had a freedom dividend of a $1,000 a month, I would not be the only candidate of color on the stage tonight.”
