"clearly lacked diversity".

I wouldn't go that far. At a quick glance there's clearly a gay or two, a vegan and a couple of crossfitters...

Absolutely and a quick look tells me that they all are highly skilled and extremely intelligent.

Except for the old fart in the middle if he's been so sucked into the leftard bullshit that he feels the need to apologise for an innocent photograph.

Looks like this is a photograph when missionaries first arrived in Africa. Why is this a controversy?

As per a story, she has non-colonial blood in veins. That explains something.

The thought police are really active at the moment - George Orwell would be so proud.

Must we now have quotas for photos? All photos must be demographically representative. If you take a selfie, apply blackface to 80% of your face.

Also I hope this illustrates an important face - whites are the least privileged racial group in the world. Taking a photo with white people is now wrong, its a bad thing. If he had taken a photo with black people, he would have been celebrated.

Its racism at its finest, dressed up in progressive politics. With a bit of thought control to reinforce it - obey or else we will destroy you.

Whoa! Is she like Charl Langeveldt? I thought he was white too. (Turns out he is a coloured, but doesn't that imply some colonial blood at least?)
