There are too many WHITE MALES in government - Susan Rice
There are too many WHITE MALES in government - Susan Rice
Link? Would be better to have it.
Susan Rice said:I’m privileged to work with brilliant and dedicated professionals across our government. But we must acknowledge that our national security agencies have not yet drawn fully on the strengths of our great nation. Minorities still make up less than 20 percent of our senior diplomats. Less than 15 percent of senior military officers and senior intelligence officials. Too often, our national security workforce has been what former Florida Senator Bob Graham called “white, male, and Yale.” In the halls of power, in the faces of our national security leaders, America is still not fully reflected.
Not where I'm at.
Yep,,, the last time I was in the Social Security Office in Camp Springs other than the rent a cop I was the only other white guy in the building, and that includes the Government workers.
DC VA hosp looks to be about 80% non white staff. Like Rice-a-roni said, not fully reflective of America.
That's a bit different than white/male. Adding in Yale adds a lot of other white guys. I accuse you of SHW, selective headline writing!
Kinda think "white, male, and Yale" stands on its own, but "America is not fully reflected" sort of adds to it, too.
YOU and ME, we all, suffer from the myopia that IS white AND make AND Yale.
No. White, male and Yale, she had a point and it's not to say 'white, male and UC Santa Barbara' I' no fan of Rice's but this sort of thing shouldn't be a big deal. YOU and ME, we all, suffer from the myopia that IS white AND make AND Yale.
Not me.
No, sir, I do not think I do. I work with and for white, black, yellow, and red. Male and female. To suggest that the proportion "should" be something is myopic. .
No it's not. It's biology. Biodiversity is a good and healthy thing. I'm not advocating for someone simply based on their gender or skin color ...
Actually it reads like you ARE saying just that.
If it doesn't look right, we need to colorize.
This is pretty simple. Do you think it serves US national interests if the same type of people with the same backgrounds and same schooling, same SCHOOL, are in charge of policy, year after year after year?
No it's not. It's biology. Biodiversity is a good and healthy thing. I'm not advocating for someone simply based on their gender or skin color but I am saying that if you keep harvesting the same crop from the same field with the same practices, the yield declines, inexorably, until the yield is bad.
