"Hey Republicans interns! You're too light-skinned! You didn't even have the racist audacity to put all the dark-skinned people near the front!"
Look at the blatant racism of the article:
In the face of the blinding whiteness of Speaker of the House Paul Ryan's selfie with a crop of Capitol Hill interns, a group of Democratic interns stopped shielding their eyes long enough to take their own photos. And well, they pretty much speak for themselves.

As a hispanic man I find this retort to the image of Ryan and the republican interns to be racist AND an attempt to race smear a whole group of people for being the wrong skin color(white in this case).
This is some seriously racist #. It is deeply offensive and I'm not surprised no one is calling this out as the bull# it so obviously is.
Nope.
Now who's denying racism exists.
Especially after your "SEA of white" comment.
You're unbelievable.

It's simple math. In general some races have significantly higher college graduation rates then other races. Combined with overall population. It puts the average makeup at something like 15:1 and that's assuming every job has the same amount of attention from all parties.

That is a fairly accurate, though uses hyperbole.
The point is, race is being used as a means to discredit people. It's antithetical to civil and human rights, no matter what the color.
How many of those people got their positions based off their talents ?
Not too many is my guess.
Nope, again it;s just the pictures and the democratic interns gave their response.

No one here is stupid enough to believe that it's "just pictures" when it comes to what the democrats have done here as a response.
This is racism and race baiting nothing more and nothing less. Did the Republicans take that picture to show off their whiteness? No. Obviously not. That was never the premise of why that picture was taken.
The dems picture was ENTIRELY centered around race.
Not racism. You can try to turn it backwards and upside down as much as you want. But it;s not.

True.
Even with all my awesome qualifications left would never hire me.
I am the wrong color.
The wrong gender.
The wrong sexual preference
And the wrong political ideology.
Yes people the democrats are the party of 'diversity'.

Sad.
People used to get hired to their positions based on their ability to do the job.
Now?
It's not about qualifications. it's about the color of your skin.
That, in my opinion, is racist.
