I'm not sure what you're getting at really. As for the minority stuff, over 77% of America is white. Why it's always older people is because a person has to be at least 35 to even run for the office. Why a woman didn't run? Well, Hillary doesn't want to run against an incumbent president, and there isn't another woman out there with much of a shot. Janet Reno? Diane Feinstein? They wouldn't make it out of the primaries. As for prominent African Americans, the only one who has a decent shot is a Republican. So, next election you'll likely get your wish. Can't guarantee it, but I won't be surprised to see a black man running against a woman.

I'm not really sure why you're so worried about the ethnic or sexual make up of the candidates though. I'm worries that they're going to rape us of our liberties while trying to bestow them upon nations who want nothing to do with them.
