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 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
