How many African American Republicans are serving in Congress? None.
How many Hispanic/Latino Republicans are serving in Congress? Four, I think, and they're Cuban Americans and some have said that they don't really qualify as real Latinos. (Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the Diaz-Balart brothers, and Mel Martinez).
How many Asian American Republicans are serving in Congress? One (Joseph Cao - and he'll be gone in 2010).
How many Native American Republicans are serving in Congress? None.
How many women are Republicans are in Congress? 21 (out of 91) in both the House (17/74) and Senate (4/17).
How many Jewish Republicans in Congress are there? One (Eric Cantor).
How many LGBT Republicans in Congress are there? None.
Yeah I wouldn't exactly call the Republicans the party of the minorities but more so the party of old angry white men. Republicans don't necessarily hate minorities (aside from homosexuals); they just, well, how do I put this diplomatically, don't tolerate differences?
Actually, there is one other Asian American serving in Congress besides Joseph Cao: Steve Austria of Ohio's 7th District. He's Filipino-American.
John Ensign also claims to be one eighth Filipino, but I have no idea if this is true or not.
I do agree with your basic point, however. Just wanted to clarify.
