White House is getting whiter with her gone
OMAROSA Manigault Newman’s White House departure means the Trump administration will soon have one fewer minority official. The President’s cabinet is overwhelmingly stocked with white secretaries, leading to criticisms the White House isn’t an inclusive one. The lone exception is Ben Carson, secretary of housing and urban development, who is the only black cabinet member. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao is the sole Asian-American member of the cabinet, while there are at least three Indian-American high-ranking appointees. Labor Secretary Alex Acosta is the son of Cuban immigrants. Here’s the list: Carson (African-American) Chao (Chinese-American) Acosta (Cuban-American) UN Ambassador Nikki Haley (Indian-American) Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai (Indian-American) Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Seema Verma (Indian-American)
