THis is the actual WaPo headline:

Advocates hoped census would find diversity in agriculture. It found old white people.

Just goes to show me old white people aren't afraid of a hard day's work six days a week for damn near a year. The other day - they're headed to church.

Only people apparently willing to work from can to can't everyday. It's not for everyone, for sure.

Dairy farmers are 7 days a week.

Cows don't milk themselves.

And now that I am rapidly becoming one (old white guy, that is), well, let's just say I'm not too happy with this development.

Otoh, according to my 23andme profile, I do have more Sub-Saharan African DNA (0.1%) than Elizabeth Warren has Native American DNA (0.09%), so maybe I won't be completely cast away. Maybe they'll let me, oh, I don't know, farm.

Of all the interesting things cited in the Agricultural census and WAPO decides to highlight race.

Word. The article is actually pretty interesting, but WaPo hones in on the race angle. But like VOR said, liberals just love facts an' shite.

If I don't think enough minorities or women are represented in a certain job or industry, the only logical conclusion is they're being discriminated against.

This. It was tried by Lenin and his Commies and Pol Pot and his Commies. Millions of people died as a result.

But hey it'll work this time, right?

I think they meant diversity among agriculturalists or farmers. If they had to do a study to determine if everyone was growing the same exact crops, God help us.
