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.”

Your mistake was listening to what those professing tolerance have been saying.
According to the Wikipedia article on Susan Rice, she was born on November 17, 1964 “in Washington, DC to Emmett J. Rice (1919 –2011), Cornell University economics professor and the second black governor of the Federal Reserve System … and education policy scholar Lois (Dickson) Fitt, currently at the Brookings Institution.”
Susan Rice’s parents “divorced during her youth.” And she went on to attend “Stanford University, where she received a Truman Scholarship, and graduated with a BA in history in 1986.” After Stanford Ms Rice was awarded “a Rhodes Scholarship” and “attended New College, Oxford, where she earned a MPhil in 1988 and DPhil in 1990. The Chatham House-British International Studies Association honored her dissertation …‘Commonwealth Initiative in Zimbabwe, 1979-1980: Implication for International Peacekeeping’.”\
While at Stanford Susan Rice also met a young man from Canada who was four years older (and considerably taller — and whiter). Some half a dozen years after her graduation an announcement in the New York Times spelled out the ultimate result of the earlier meeting in sunny California (and hinted at Ms.Rice’s future financial interests in the Canadian cold)
WEDDINGS; Susan E. Rice, Ian Cameron … Published: September 13, 1992 … Susan Elizabeth Rice, the daughter of Dr. Emmett J.

YOU have a point..
Can't they find equally degreed minority citizen candidates?

Susan Rice proves again that she should keep her thoughts to herself. Keep that pie-hole closed woman, something bad might fly into it.
January: please come now!
Man, I despise these people.
Something about this photo does not make a lot of sense. Her children?
Looks like her hubby is “too white.”
Isn’t it great that they get to cherry pick what agency to look at? Isn’t it obvious that blacks are over-represented in government jobs? If he’s consistent, he’d have to fire a bunch of them.
I’m not holding my breath. Diversity is important only when it results in the firing of white people.
Odd. Whenever I have any dealings with the government, it’s always with a black person. I went to two different IRS offices in different cities, and they were all staffed with blacks. Whenever I called their ‘Help Line’ it was always a black person, as well.
Picking the best people for the job would be a good policy, but then that would leave Susan Rice out in the cold.
Ms. Rice’s position is based on her willingness to lie to the American people. She will go far in the Democrat Party.
Yesa, her children. Look at her mother and father, both fairly light skinned. She is probably at least half white if not more.
Says the lady married to a white guy.....
Ms. Rice said a diversified government workforce is more likely to yield “better outcomes” than a predominantly white one
Why?
Based on what factual evidence?
Too white is consistent with people that have higher IQs. Imagine that!
I expected the poster of the graphic in the replied-to post to be you, TM.
I would expect a lot of leaks from these agencies that favor Trump.
