Twitter Users Notice Something about Hillary’s Press Corps

By Amelia Hamilton Published on October 23, 2015

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:

A lot of people on Twitter, however, noticed something else; that group isn’t very ethnically diverse.
