What if he determined he needed a male? Would you state that OK if he "concluded that a white male running mate would be more beneficial and advantageous to his ticket" and clearly stated it as a qualification?
Even if he [Mr. Biden] had concluded that a male running mate would be more beneficial, it wouldn't qualify as sexist. The decision would have been made for reasons deemed to be advantageous as to appealing to the electorate, not for reasons involving prejudice, discrimination or stereotyping -- which would be required to properly assert sexism. Rather, it would simply be a political calculation; a purely self-serving decision that every campaign makes in hopes of bolstering overall support and appealing to as many of the electorate as possible.
