    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The WH hosted military spouses today. Our armed forces are 40% non-white. The odds that -- BY CHANCE -- a group of 52 military spouses would contain no people of color are lower than 100 trillion to 1. So, umm.... <a href="Ronald Klain on Twitter">pic.twitter.com/zi6XzmzYBd</a></p>&mdash; Ronald Klain (@RonaldKlain) <a href=""

    And the president of the United States called neo-Nazis "very fine people".

    This is the first time I've ever heard of Ronald Klain, but Ronald Klain appears to have some smoke shows for daughters. Jeebus.

    Yeah. That kind of lack of diversity can't be a coincidence.

    Obama campaign office staff lacks racial diversity, may violate civil rights law

    Why are you posting a picture with people of color to counter a post about a picture with no people of color?

    All white people = racist.

    90% white people = diversity?

    That's different. Everyone knows black people aren't very smart. That's why they go into the military.

    Considering that her hiring practices were noted in her confirmation hearings, you'd think she would have made an effort in her 20+ years on the SCOTUS to hire more African-American clerks, wouldn't you.

    (And, of corse, the Senate gave her the benefit of the doubt, confirming her 96-3.)

    As for the military spouse thing, unless we know who was invited, and turned it down, it's hard to judge. The New England Patriots looked less diverse than they are when they visited the WH.
