This week, President Trump formed a team of health experts to address the coronavirus outbreak. The problem, according to CNN, is that this team is not "diversified."

CNN analyst Brandon Tensley lamented the lack of any minorities on the task force. "All we heard from Trump was that he was choosing the best experts in the world for this job," Tensley said. "President Obama would not have been so single minded. When he had the opportunity to appoint a task force to deal with the 2014 Ebola outbreak he carefully balanced expertise with the need to provide opportunities for minorities to advance their careers."

"Over the long term, lack of racial and gender diversity is a more serious threat than any disease we might face," Tensley maintained. "Disease strikes indiscriminately without regard to race or gender. It is an equal-opportunity slayer of humans. Lack of diversity is an insidious prejudice eating away at social justice. I, for one, would much rather risk a less effective effort against any virus than the failure to achieve more opportunities for minorities to advance. I think the majority of people would agree with me on this."

In related news, presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) suggested that "we might want to consider China's proposal to cull the segment of the population that is suspected of carrying the coronavirus. If by sacrificing some we can save the larger collective I think it is a step we must contemplate. I would hope that the culling could be carried out in a fashion that has all racial and ethnic groups equally represented."

Always the race baiters. How about they complain that there aren’t enough black coronavirus victims.
