It is important to have people of color and women in places of power in not just our country, but any country. People of color provide us with information about other cultures and can give ideas to people in power the natives could not come up with themselves. Having more females in power would also benefit society greatly. A female brain works differently than a male's. Government in America is roughly 75% male. If more females were added, the country would have better problem solving skills, and female voices would be heard. Back to people of color, these people will represent the diversity of the country and how racially equivalent this country has the power to be.
