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)
