Odd thinking

"Haney has recommended that either a Chinese or transgender candidate replace him, mirroring suggestions made to the mayor by members of the Chinese and LGBT communities and by the San Francisco Unified School District’s educator union, United Educators of San Francisco.
“We lack a Chinese member of the board currently. I think it would be important to appoint a Chinese member. They are our biggest student group,” said Haney. “Also, there’s been a lot of conversation — which I support — around looking for a transgender appointee to the board. There’s never been a trans member and we had a number of strong candidates in this last cycle.”
"Some 35 percent of SFUSD’s students identified as Chinese, according to the district’s most recent data."
So 35% of students are Chinese, there are no ethnically Chinese members, seems like a simple choice. Where on earth does the 'Chinese or transwoman' choice come in?
The suggested transwoman candidate is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mia_Satya, a WASP. Not exactly diverse.
Complicating matters, they had a Chinese candidate who had been endorsed by the various powers that be, but she turned out to have views which are in line with a lot of Chinese Americans on LGBT issues:

but which are deemed wrongthink by the white liberal establishment. So they want a minority candidate, but a minority who follows white orthodox liberal views. How, er, representative.
