    Based on what? This one misleading tweet?

    The woman standing fifth from the right looks like she may be Asian, btw.

    Does anyone know the racial makeup of the Air Force Officers’ Spouses’ Club?

    Would seem to be relevant information.

    Big Circus’ link points out that when you look at the officer corp, among all branches, the percentage of minorities drops from 40% to 23%.

    But this group represents only one branch — and I would expect the Army has the highest percentage of minorities — and requires a spouse to have actively joined a club to be included in this picture.

    Maybe the picture is an accurate representation of the group’s membership, and not evidence of Donald Trump’s racism.

    The photo was actually taken at the annual Joint Armed Forces of Washington Luncheon (JAFOWL) on April 24, not the White House. In fact, it only shows members of the Air Force Officers’ Spouses’ Club.

    It's pretty shitty to try to make money off that movement.

    Then again, every tourist shop in Gettysburg, Pa. would have to shut down if we took that to its logical conclusion.

    You didn't see that HBO movie "Recount" (about the Bush-Gore election)?

    Klain (played by Kevin Spacey) was the star of the movie.

    I always make my final worth twice as much as a test, so I mark it out of 200 points. It's great.

    The original story has already been proved wrong, but if your going to say there are no non-white women in the photo, then there have to be no non-white women in the photo.

    Are there no non-white women in the photo?

    I'm not going to spend one second of my life staring at a photograph of 54 or however many tiny faces, trying to determine whether any one of them may be Asian, because I'm not a fucking psycho.
