Old white men: the new face of power in post-racial America

These are the people crafting health-care policy for everyone in the United States.

Clockwise from top left:

Harry Reid
Race: white.
Gender: male.
Elected to represent: Nevada, less than 1% of US population.

Max Baucus
Race: white.
Gender: male.
Elected to represent: Montana, less than 3/10 of 1% of US population.

Rahm Emanuel
Race: white.
Gender: male.
Elected to represent: Nobody.

Chris Dodd
Race: white.
Gender: male.
Elected to represent: Connecticut, slightly over 1% of US population.

No one mentions that this is racist or sexist, but you can bet that if the four participants were all black women, the right would be having a field day, bloviating about "reverse racism" and "reverse sexism."

Talk about diverse: one of them is under 65 years old!
