You can always count on the hypocritical media outlets to report how overwhelmingly white gatherings of conservative are, while ignoring the overwhelming white complexion of every major liberal media institution and deified Democratic political machine.
See, for example, here, here, here, here, and here. For starters.
As we’ve been reporting, the hipster South by Southwest conference has been taking place all week in Austin, Texas. But we’ve yet to find any major national media publication or news station headlining the lack of racial diversity at SXSW. Nope, no massive, front-page photos or editorials decrying the racial imbalance of the attendees the way Tea Party gatherings were attacked relentlessly.
Fortunately, many Twitter users have resisted the urge to whitewash the truth about the failure of progressives of pallor to practice what they preach.

With the lack of diversity in tech, whose wise idea was it to put all @sxsw "black" programming at the Hilton Garden hotel? #SXSW …contd

I go to SXSW every year for the same reason… To mingle with white people.

More white people are in line to see grumpy cat at sxsw than there are Spanish folks trying to see Chavez' body.
