The RNC mom wasn't on stage because she was white. (Although they still might have picked a white person for subconscious reasons.)

Two points, if Trump is bringing up banning Muslims it's him that's engaging in identity politics, the Kahns don't get anywhere near the stage if Trump doesn't make banning Muslims a plank of his campaign, it's the job of the Dems to present arguements against his, it's hardly their fault that his policies are so indefensible or that the Khans made him look like the moron he is, that was just happy coincidence.
Secondly, the GOP is essentially a white party, virtually everyone on their stage was white, it's all they've got.
