I am also curious as to what number of white males currently serve as President of either our Ivy League elite large endowment private schools, or high-ranking flagships? I don't have a count, but it seems like every time I turn around the president of a college i see has a woman and/or minority president. I fully applaud the appointments when the candidates are equally qualified.
But I happened to a quick count of our Federal cabinet members (15-18 ish) I counted 4 white males who are not openly gay and those 4 had none of the most powerful jobs. Does this new really "look like "America?" in terms of percentage? I recall this Clinton mantra from Donna Shalala etc. and understood it as a fair point. But has the pendulum swung so far that ratios are nearly a caracature of the idea.
