Twitter Users Notice Something about Hillary’s Press Corps
Hillary Clinton is really into being a woman. She reminds the public of this fact at every opportunity and seems convinced that her gender is some kind of qualification for the presidency. It seems that quite a few press outlets think that this is a good opportunity to put women on the campaign trail, and have assigned them to Hillary’s press corps. Politico did a story on this phenomenon, and tweeted it along with this picture:
Hillary Clinton's press corps is overwhelmingly women. Is that a coincidence? http://t.co/B56qc4I46N pic.twitter.com/fthpe1mSZL

A lot of people on Twitter, however, noticed something else; that group isn’t very ethnically diverse.
That’s whiter than a Democratic debate Diversity, or something https://t.co/VfcTGH5h7b

@politico @hillaryclinton @forhillary A VERY white female press corps. Just who is Hillary for — herself?
