A group picture with President Donald Trump showed the summer 2017 class was very white and very male. In the fall 2017 picture, observers pointed out one of the interns seemed to be making a white power gesture. (He denied it.) And the spring 2018 class was, again, very white (although with more female interns represented).



quote:

President Donald Trump posing with an almost all-white group of White House interns is becoming a familiar sight.

A leaked photograph purportedly showing Trump with the summer 2018 intake, which Vox published Wednesday, has sparked anger — due to the lack of diversity among interns in the program.





quote:

Others, meanwhile, have compared it to the radically different intern program photos from former President Barack Obama’s time in office:

Trump ought to hire a bunch of Asians and Mexicans in response as interns.

Remind me, what do the offices at Huffpo look like?

Last time I saw it, it looked like the standard uniform came with a Prada bag and a pumpkin spice latte.

Well Huffpo, maybe if your shitty arse outlet and the rest of the media didn’t always try to paint the president and every conservative as a vile racist, perhaps more minorities would want to intern for him.

Maybe President Trump's White House intern program is whiter than past presidents' White House intern programs because more black and brown people now have jobs than under any other presidency thanks to President Trump.

I can't be alone in this, but I don't go looking around a room and saying "shite, there are too many white people here" or "Why aren't there more Asians/Blacks/Hispanics/Indians/women here?" If you're a better candidate for a six figure job, how many people are going to say "Nah, give it to someone else?"

So it's the classic example of the kettle calling the pot black.
