Yet Again, The White House Interns Are Overwhelmingly White

Vice President  Mike Pence  tweeted Wednesday that he had met with the summer 2017 White House interns. The official Snapchat account for the White House also shared a few photographs from the day.

But there was something particularly jarring about the pictures ...

As many Twitter users noted, there are very few people of color in all the photographs. The majority of the interns are white.

The lack of diversity among the White House interns has been a topic of discussion for quite a while. Last July, there was backlash after House Speaker Paul Ryan posted a selfie on Instagram with the Capitol Hill interns, who were also mostly white. 

According to The Washington Post, women are more than half of the U.S. population  and “as of 2015, 44 percent of all people  ages 18-34 are minorities.”

Those being groomed as the future of our government should look like our country. And they don’t.
