I generally think of certain groups as: minorities, whether it be skin color, religion, or gender, who traditionally have had a very small role in politics.
I don't consider, say, white males to be a 'special' group. We've had endless representation for the entirety of known American history. Other groups cannot say that, and it's understandable that when they have a shot at representation at the highest levels, they fight hard for it.
