It causes the contrary question to be asked: what's wrong with white people? What's so wonderful about non-whites having these positions?

They've mentioned it but it's hardly the lead story.
And it's significant because it's the first time that none of the big offices of state has been held by a white man. There wasn't a meeting one year in the 70s, 80s or 90s where everyone collectively decided to end racism and misogyny and that was it. It's a process and this is more evidence of that progress. Showing that your race or gender need not be a hindrance to occupying the most senior positions in this country is something worth noting.
