It almost writes itself

Somehow I came across the book page for this book "Why Mommy is a Democrat". There is a link to a review from some outfit called "The National Center for the Study of Children's Literature". To quote some of the review
Mommy is a tufted-ear squirrel who embodies and makes visual all the good things Democrats like to think they do, like playing by the rules, treating everyone fairly, and sharing their toys.
...
Little lovable animals inhabit the very finely done colored-pencil illustrations, exemplifying abstract beliefs like tolerance and accessible health care.
...
the representative multicultural-looking down-and-out young man who is barred from an expensive school, sleeps under a tree in the park, or looks in trash cans for dinner

The jokes for write themselves. What I found strangest was the phrase "representative multicultural-looking".
