President Obama can't seem to catch a break. Poor guy can't even shoot a game of hoops at the White House without being castigated by one group for not including another.
His administration is too white, some say. Too male, others argue. He doesn't have enough women in top Cabinet-level jobs. He doesn't have enough Blacks or Latinos in the White House press office. Well, we decided to see just how Obama's Cabinet stacks up against his predecessor's initial lineup in terms of racial, ethnic and gender diversity.
Bush's administration, which included the appointments of retired Army General Colin Powell and Dr. Condoleezza Rice as secretary of state, both Black, was one of the most diverse in history.
What our analysis revealed: Bush will have to relinquish his title. The nation's first Black president is now the reigning champ of the most diverse Cabinet in history.

Pure numbers rarely tell the whole story, but numbering, categorizing, comparing and scoring organizations on the basis of skin color, sex, and other outward appearances is the whole story for you Diversity mongers, isn't it? Color of skin, or content of character, which one is this article about?
Willing to bet that every agency run by a female has a male czar behind the scenes really calling the shots.
Huh? Out of those 11 positions listed Bush had 6 non whites and Obama only had 3 non whites. Did I miss something?
Do those number include terrorists, Marxists, haters, thieves and lunatics?
DiversityInc is THE most unintentionally funny website in the world.
Cabinet??? What Cabinet???
It’s a shame they didn’t have a category for comparison on Competence.
Oh, yeah, my bad, Diversity is about what a person looks like, not about the content of their character.
Bunch of communist and socialist.
How’s that for diversity?
Hows he doing on Czar diversity? I bet he’s number 1 !!
Obama sure has the most Jewish inner circle I recall ever by a long shot...but not a Weinberger or Abrams in the bunch.
How about competence as the measure?
That’s because blacks and latinos are not commies, for the most part they both believe that success comes from hard work.
Il Douche’s cabinet in’t too white. It’s too damn RED!
If Obama’s cabinet “looks like America” I wonder which part of the cabinet represents the 40% of American that are conservative according to latest the gallup poll?
It's not satire?
