I think it's redolent of tokenism

I think there's space between promoting a minority to have a minority, which is tokenism, and being glad that the person you are legitimately promoting brings extra points. I never sensed tokenism in the Republicans' enthusiasm for her but an unseemly amount of race consciousness. Most unseemly. JMHO, one I have argued more than once.
