The funniest part about is the people taking in the photo with him won't understand why this could be seen as racist. I'm not saying he is but it goes back to the say, "a picture is worth a thousand words. Some peole think that when people say "it's too White," that they are trying complain but the truth is that what people mean is that America is a multicultural country and by not including those who are not White, it's sending a message that you're not American unless you are White. It's just like with the Academy Awards when pretty much every actor or actress nominated were White and there was a lot of backlash against people who took them to task for it, they thought it was complaining but the truth of the matter was that it wasn't. The critics of the critics who took the AA to task about it, started talking about the BET awards and the Essence awards but they forget those awards shows besides being ethnic includes performers of all races. Also, the only reason we have awards shows like the Latin Grammys and other ethnic awards shows is because mainstream shows seem to refuse to acknowledge people of color as being worthy of such mainstream awards unless they are playing an undesirable character. It all comes down to fairness. Every person in this photo is White, that sends the message that only White people are Republicans but I'm pretty sure there are Republicans of other ethnic groups, why are they not included? It just serves the purpose of passing along the message that if you're not White and Republican, then you are wrong and not American.

Actually if you look in the picture you will see some asians, indians, a female who could be either african american or indian (resolution too bad) and a couple who appear to be of hispanic origin.

I did notice that but I really had to look hard and there is very little Color Contrast but you are correct.

If he had rearranged the people in the picture like some politicians are known to do then there would have appeared to be more color contrast even though the participants in the photo would be the same.
