White House’s Susan Rice: U.S. national security agencies are too white
Washington Times ^ | May 11, 2016 | Dave Boyer

White House National Security Adviser Susan E. Rice said Wednesday there are too many white people in key government posts, creating the danger of “groupthink” that could put U.S. security at risk.

Speaking at Florida International University’s commencement, Ms. Rice said a diversified government workforce is more likely to yield “better outcomes” than a predominantly white one.

Referring to criticism that the U.S. national security workforce is “white, male, and Yale,” Ms. Rice told the graduates, “In the halls of power, in the faces of our national security leaders, America is still not fully reflected.”

“By now, we should all know the dangers of ‘groupthink,’ where folks who are alike often think alike,” she said. “By contrast, groups comprised of different people tend to question one another’s assumptions, draw on divergent perspectives and experiences, and yield better outcomes.”

Why? Based on what factual evidence?

The key here are the words "better outcome"...Better outcome for who? Think about thier goals, both stated and un-stated, of not necessarily being pro-Amerrican, then it makes more sense. Of course, bureaucrats of any race can screw up and screw off, so this might not have much of an impact.

I'm detecting some growth here. So Rice is saying that if racial groups of people routinely support a single party in levels in excess of 94%, by and large their votes are necessarily faulty.

The statement is true ipso facto when you’ve been in an environment where “our diversity is our strength” has been a mantra, unquestioned, for a quarter century or more. No other proof or evidence needed.
