Twitchy has already reported on the unbearable whiteness of yesterday’s climate march and today’s #FloodWallStreet sit-in — to the degree that someone was overheard asking, “Are there any people who are not white who want to hold the banner with us?”
The climate protesters aren’t the only ones having trouble finding people of color. Today, New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan noted that of the paper’s 20 culture critics, none are black and only one is a person of color.
The Washington Post’s Wesley Lowery decided to call out the Times for its lack of diversity.

@WesleyLowery quit putting stock in the liberal elites. They don't give a shit about people of color or working class people.
