Why is the story about our new leader about his skin colour?

The first person of colour to lead any European country ?

That's pretty big news

Wether VG proves to be a good leader is yet to be seen but his appointment is big news , relatively speaking ?

Leo Varadkar, Humza Yousaf and Rishi Sunak are all people of colour and all currently leaders of European countries. And all unpopular with the electorate.

I’d think that VG will be similarly unpopular, not because of his skin colour, but because he is unrepentant about taking £200k from a man who has repeatedly been convicted of serious environmental crimes. And also his terrible performances during the pandemic and in the Covid enquiry.
