Greetings @peaceandmoney
Interesting...tre interesant! Conservatism is blind to race. Perhaps she will transcend the race issue as Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher did the gender isseue. She thought like a man.
Have you read the speeches of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher?....she was a Sparkling Gem in Britain's history....imo.
Kind Regards,

You are absolutely right when you say conservatism is blind to race, perhaps historically that wasn't always the case but that of course wasn't just conservatism it was the way of the world at one point.
I have indeed read and watched many of Margaret Thatcher's speeches and whatever your politics my word she was a very skilled orator who could captivate mass audiences.
Yes, she achieved an incredible amount to get to the top position and that was back in the late 70's and all of that was sort of before my time. But look what she proved was capable of back then and demonstrated that gender is not an obstacle to power and status.
The interesting thing about Thatcher was she was also very modest, she never wanted the fact that she was a woman to somehow characterise her premiership - and she didn't. She just got one with running the country.
She wanted to be treated exactly as her male counterparts were treated. She didn't need to pass tons of legislation to 'equalise' the playing field. She once said of the female equality and feminism agenda that she didn't need to cheat to get to the top and she was right, she did it all by herself in an age where men were still running most of the show when it came to politics.
