ONLY two of the 20-plus reporters who covered the presidential campaign for The New York Times were black. None were Latino or Asian. That’s less diversity than you’ll find in Donald Trump’s cabinet thus far. Of The Times’s newly named White House team, all six are white, as is most everyone in the Washington bureau.
Traveling to other departments, Metro has only three Latinos among its 42 reporters, in a city with the second largest Hispanic population in the country. Sports has one Asian man, two Hispanics and no African-Americans among its 21 reporters, yet blacks are plentiful among the teams they cover and the audience they serve. In the Styles section, every writer is white, while American culture is anything but.
The executive editor, Dean Baquet, is African-American. The other editors on his masthead are white. The staff with the most diversity? The news assistants, who mostly do administrative jobs and get paid the least.
The Times can be relentless in questioning the diversity at other institutions; it has written about the white ranks of the technology sector, public schools, police departments, Oscar nominees, law firms, legislatures, the major leagues and the Ivy League. Fixing its own problems comes less easily.

Good things for me, but not for thee.
The Left knows no hypocrisy. All things are secondary to the advancement of their causes.
How many are Wymyn? Happy? How many genders are represented?
They try,at least——remember Jason Blair?????

So, nothing wrong with white folks.
Diversity is dilution to accept and justify the lowest common denominator.
Diversity is idiotic anywise.
We need to be monocultural, even if it means becoming (almost) monoracial.
My experience has shown me that diversity only works in movies. Fictional movies.
Why would anyone with half a brain read the TImes?
Just curious how many of those white people are Jewish?
Why isn’t that overrepresentation ever mentioned or “addressed” by the “Diverse” Slimes?
Diversity is often code for mediocrity.
If it were not for double standards, the Left would not have any standards.
In 1967 when I started working at the CBS television station in Columbus, OH, the entire news staff were white men.
The only thing that accounts for this, I think, is that whites get an early start in writing on demand, even if it's at their college newspaper. By the time I got to CBS, I'd had three years as a free-lancer, and two as a staff radio writer.
As Tom Sowell has recently written, “diversity” is a colossal scam.
How has this matter of diversity become so important? It is not constitutional issue, not Biblical based, not historical. Where did it come from?
