Checking out the environmental caucus at #NN13. As the guy next to me said, "It's a very white room."

It seems at least one other #nn13 panel was similarly afflicted:
I love my progressives & this mornings panel is as diverse as a July 4th Hannity show. #nn13 #morningdump pic.twitter.com/dmwdIBQ3vu

In comparison to these panels, even Paula Deen’s staff looks diverse:

One tweeter saw it coming:
Lack of discussion/panels re: #diversity in conservation at #NN13 still frustrating/shortsighted – ping me if you'd like to discuss/caucus

Alas, the Netroots Nation staff is “whiter than an albino ghost at a KKK rally.”
@atima_omara Maybe you need a panel at @Netroots_Nation about lack of #diversity on the all-white staff. http://t.co/CFd7P1FoLv #nn13

What exactly do progressives have against people of color, anyway?

there's white and eggshell whites alike! RT @SaraHayleyRubin: @SooperMexican at least #NN13 otherwise appears to be pretty racially diverse.
