Biden is the first president to pick his VP based solely off of race and gender AND the his first Supreme Court justice via race and gender. Pander King.

Not sure that’s accurate. I’d put a good deal of money down that no non-white people were considered for VP by the first 30 or so presidents, at least. Likewise, I doubt many/any non-white Supreme Court justices were considered prior to like the 1950’s. I’m not a historian so maybe there was an exception here and there.

You could argue they were picking the most qualified whites (so, not solely based on whiteness) but that’s not much of an argument. Disingenuous.

He said it out loud with his own words, so he kinda 100% made his decision based on the color of skin and their gender.

And the first 30 or 40 presidents made their decision based on race and gender.

What’s you beef, again? There isn’t any credible argument Kamala isn’t qualified for the job, based on the credentials of her predecessors. There were probably marginally more qualified VP candidates but being the most qualified has rarely been the primary determinant for the job; people just cared less when a less qualified white guy beat a more qualified white guy.
