People think these side by side photos represent a key difference between the Democrat and Republican national conventions.
On the left are Alaskan native Chuck Degnan, Chicana Marisol Garcia, Asian American Howard Chou and Filipina Amy Agbayani announcing the Democrat roll call for their state.
On the right are – well, exclusively old white men.

The representation of immigrants and indigenous people among the Democrats, compared with the white-washed speakers at the Republican National Conference, didn't go unnoticed.
@kndavidson @cspanJeremy That’s the whole problem with the GOP- it’s run by old white men. No diversity. No change.— THEE Susanne always votes Blue (@THEE Susanne always votes Blue) 1598287293
@cspanJeremy @Sisterwriter Diversity means that some old white guys wear glasses— david s. meyer (@david s. meyer) 1598285417
@cspanJeremy That just looks embarrassing and so out of touch.— THEE Kurt Nice (@THEE Kurt Nice) 1598285512
Diversity among the speakers is important, because without it only one demographic is being represented. And that doesn't paint an accurate picture of the USA.
I prefer the left side because it is a true representation of America!!!! #BidenHarris2020 https://t.co/b2WkVlksQx— Marla (@Marla) 1598359134
Another difference between the roll calls was that the Democrats announced their nomination from their home states.
The Republicans, on the other hand, gathered in a single room, meaning the whole process was that extra bit monotonous.
@cspanJeremy @Olivpit The DNC roll call was FABULOUS this year! I loved seeing all of the different places, people… https://t.co/wCJRuyyt0i— M Shawn Jaquiss (@M Shawn Jaquiss) 1598290635
But there were some memorable moments.
Like when Louisiana's delegate Ross Little Jr said that Joe Biden is "hiding in the dark, waiting to take the lives of our unborn babies".
the RNC is already completely off the rails https://t.co/Ykzqho4nLv— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1598283371
Or when Maryland's delegate David Bossie accidentally referred to Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass as segregationists.
The RNC is completely beyond parody https://t.co/ksuRuZp0Iz— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1598285125
We're not entirely sure what image the Republicans were trying to project with this roll call, but it wasn't a good look.
