Given Mitt Romney's recent remark that the United States' small Muslim population doesn't "justify" having a Muslim in the presidential cabinet, I thought I'd pull out this chart showing the diversity -- or lack thereof -- on each campaign's staff. Surprise, surprise! Romney is an old hand at surrounding himself with white people.
Why, there are no black people at all on Romney's campaign staff! I guess black people just don't make up a significant portion of the U.S. population (12 percent). I mean, black people certainly aren't necessary for winning the war on terror (they make up almost one-fifth of the U.S. armed forces). But all kidding aside, why would a black person want to work for the campaign of someone who subscribes to a religion that, until the 1970s, believed African Americans were cursed by Lucifer and unworthy of church membership? --Dana Goldstein
