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

Posted on 05/11/2016 11:07:41 AM PDT by bkopto

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.”

It’s too “white, male, and Yale”...

I’ll agree with the “Yale” part.

We seemed to have done well as a country for over 200 years without such diversity that Rice speaks of.

“... America is still not fully reflected.”

So in other words, we need to fill government security posts with more uneducated, illiterate, brown & black, “kill whitey” types.

Yeah, that’ll make us so much more safer. NOT!

Maybe she needs to change her name to Susan (Black!!) Rice, to rid herself of any remaining oppression.

Whenever you hear the words diversity, inclusion or multicultural, you can be reasonably certain that someone is urging preferential treatment based on skin color and/or national origin.

Don’t forget the Bergdahl deserter - she spouted the White House ‘group-think’ position that he ‘served with honor and distinction.’

Enough with the identity politics. How about some competent people without regard to their race, gender, or religion?

Is Rice speaking of her assumptions or is she going to present empirical evidence to support her claims?

That's what I thought - freaking liberals.

I think I have identified the problem. We need more Hilldale, Patrick Henry, and Liberty grads.
