Analysis | The overwhelmingly white White House intern class photo, and why it matters
WaPo ^ | 26 July 2017 | Nicole Lewis

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.

Nah, it is starting to get funny.

Best response it loud laughter.

And a “So What?”

NOT “skin counters”

I guess the biggest question is: Did any of the racially diverse apply?

When the best people for the job are selected without regard for race, color, creed...whatever the EOE motto is nowadays, that’s just what the picture ends up looking like.

Bingo! And if not, why not? Are they too prejudiced or selfish to volunteer???

One must be qualified, don’t they? Or are we to overlook inability for the sake of checking a box..?

If local politics are any indicator, the ‘diverse’ only apply for ‘volunteer’ situations when there is plenty of opportunity for other remuneration... generous perks and unlimited access to the limelight...which means ... right, more perks and opportunities as well for paying positions for which no qualifications are necessary... just connections.

If they did the libs would beat the up or at least smear them, so that is a bit of a deterrent.

While Obama’s similar picture look like the dark of a moonless and cloudy night in the middle of nowhere.

I have to comment again about how the WaPo and others have removed their comments section, because a study found that people are more influenced by comments than they are the written story. I’m sure that this article would have attracted a slew of comments pointing out the irony of their “concern” over the lack of “diversity” by someone overtly promoting anti-white racism.

I don’t understand the complaint about lack of gender diversity. There are quite a few women there. Though less than 50%, women are still well represented.

Or are they speculating about other gender identity , such as “gay” or “trans”?? But how would we know about such identities from a photo??

Or is this hit piece just assuming that none are these alternative lifestyle identities???

The people who insist on pushing minorities and women into STEM fields should appreciate this; far too many rely on government employment (and have no intention of busting their humps as required in STEM fields). No matter how many grants they give to them to push them into those fields, too many still retreat to teaching in public schools or “social work”/community organizing...
