It's forgetting where you come from, a slap in the face of all those who suffered under and continue to suffer due tl the legacy of Empire. As you alluded to, being ignorant to these issues in the furtherance of one's own personal/professional success is common among politicians. When they use minorities in positions of power and influence as a way of saying it's a win for representation, that's sickening. They're in those positions so we're all free? Live vicariously through them, whilst the material conditions of people don't improve? That isn't progress, really.
