WASHINGTON (AP) — As Donald Trump fills out his Cabinet, it's looking less like America's population and more like the world Trump has always orbited: wealthy, white, male-dominated and business-minded.

Trump, who railed against what he called "politically correct crap" during his no-holds-barred presidential campaign, is on track to create the least diverse Cabinet in a quarter-century.

I did a search on that hoping for a cute picture to post, but it took me to a part of the internet I never want to see again.

Is not a diverse person choosing diverse people not diverse.

Just making up for the lack of private sector diversity in recent cabinets.

Diverse is a description, not a virtue.

Liberals are racists. They ALWAYS judge people by the color of their skin, not by the content of their character, their skills, their attitude, their contribution. What matters most to them is skin color, and real or imagined gender.

“The article suggsts appointing Heitkamp to agriculture for the sake of diversity—that would be a very good move from the point of view of the Senate.”

She’s a very poor choice for any position with the Trump presidency. She just would not fit, I’m not talking about her large size, I mean she’s very low energy, not really a mover & shaker like Trump.

I’ve watched her political career since her Attorney General days, I’m well aware of her associations with Ed Schultz & the fact that her party is Dem-NPL, which to my knowledge is the only arm of the DNC willing to admit they are socialists.

Diversity for the sake of diversity is not a virtue.

She lost the election.

That's an incredible chart that shows most past Presidents relied on known successful individuals where 0bama filled his cabinet with folks from academia and community organizers.

Shows why he's a big FAIL!

When will Trump select his czars? Crayola Equalization may occur at that time.

Diversity never fed a hungry child.

i believe it. ALL of President Trump’s Cabinet appointments are qualified, capable, diligent, competent and have chosen minuscule public servant salaries in lieu of networking for 4 years with the aim of making big bucks later as high-paid lobbyists.

Definitely the least diverse group in at least 8 years.

He’s not picking a Cabinet that “looks” like America.

Yep - and they were pissed at him for his beauty contest days where looks were everything....

[MasterGunner01]

Note to Left and Media: “Diversity” does NOT equal competence to do a tough job — unlike your world where incompetence is required to get the same job. Case in point: John F’ing Kerry (the gigolo who was in Viet Nam)

Good. "Diversity" sucks. "Diversity" is for losers.

[New Jersey Realist]

Yeah, I guess he needs to pick a few gang bangers off the street and a few migrant workers out of the fields. Since almost half the population are liberals, then half his cabinet should be wackos as well.

[combat_boots]

Winners, not whiners. Merit over form.

I’ve never seen a Presidency like this in my life, and I’m not young.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Any nominal "Republican" who values diversity over competence should have voted for Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio - who would have been more than happy to let the MSM and the Democrats intimidate them into picking all sorts of incompetent yet appropriately multi-hued and pansexual candidates to fill their Administrations' top posts.

Trump has picked the most genuinely conservative cabinet since maybe the Eisenhower Administration. Probably a shock to #nevertrump conservatives.
