President Trump posed for a photo on Monday with the White House's summer intern class. While some outlets seized on Trump rolling his eyes and shushing a reporter for asking questions about his policies, the Twitterverse erupted, pointing out the lack of racial and gender diversity in the class.

My favorite White House photo is the one taken after the 2016 election, everyone looking dreadfully stunned and butthurt, one crying like that Frenchman watching the Nazis rolling through Paris.
What a beautiful sight!
Do a Google Search on images for “NAACP interns”. Overwhelmingly....black.
Is that a pic of the editorial board of the BEZOS BLOG? Er, I mean the Washington comPost?
Comments have been BLOCKED on this article...you know what THAT means.
Off topic but I wonder how they fit that many interns in the Whitehouse. Gotta be kind of crowded.
GOOD! It’s about time someone gave a leg up to the beleaguered White youth in America! They already get discriminated against every single day in academia and the workplace, in favor of less-qualified minorities. Affirmative action is racism.
The FACT is, it doesn't matter except to weenies and the pink panty crowd. F'm.
there is about 8 out of 110 minority ethnics... close to 8 %, closer to the national average than the washington post editorial board
Facebook too
The bigger question is whether any of the colorful applicants are qualified or were they expecting to skate into the program because of skin color rather than merit.
The staffers in those photos taken after the election are no doubt responsible for many of the leaks. Clean house!
By comparison, Obama interns: http://www.630wpro.com/2015/06/26/four-brown-u-students-are-white-house-summer-interns/
Obama’s interns look awfully white too. Maybe, just maybe, the kind of people who are willing to intern in the White House are predominantly white.
I spotted at least three blacks in the White House photo. That is three more than what makes up the HuffyPoo editorial board.
The Left realizes that the true pulse of the Nation is found in the comments. Most comments sections I see are usually 10-1 against the Left. So they do the only thing they know...censor..
You don’t get paid so to start with one has to be financially backed in some way. Most likely parents. Monica was awfully white too.
Yes, this.
But really, I'd settle for a level playing field and simply allow the cream to rise to the top, which is....normal and just.
The left hates that though. They know they will lose in every facet of society except slacking and bong use. That's why they fight it.
Your question about the actual number of non-white applicants is very valid.
It brings to mind an incident a few years ago. Texas A&M was being hounded by the Clinton(?) administration because of the relatively few blacks on campus. A&M was finally exonerated because they had set aside many positions for black applicants but the actual number of black applicants was less than the set-asides. That means that even if you were a black student with a GPA of 1.2, you would be accepted. But the number of black applicants was very low leaving many positions open each year.
Liberals need to understand that not all minorities want to work in every position that comes available in the real world. By the same token it is not usually the fault of the employer that the racial mix of his employees does not reflect society as a whole.
Typical of hypocrite Liberals/Progressives/Marxists who want to claim they share intellectual DNA with Martin Luther King, yet their dream IS NOT of a time when persons are judged by the content of their character, but are instead judged by the color of their skin.
