Well, we have our first female Marine officer. Whoopee Do! I don't care a bit about having the first female Marine officer. I want to see the first GREAT female officer.

We got our first black President with Barack Obama. Woopee do. We needed our first SUCCESSFUL black president. An unsuccessful first can be the last for a long time ~~if they don't succeed~~. (check out that gem of syntax and grammar!)

If they're not exceptionally good, being first can actually disadvantage whatever group they represent for a very long time. Detractors would say "female officer? Tried that. Bought the t-shirt. Didn't work." There is great responsibility in being first.
