re: #395 Killgore Trout

I’m shocked that memes circulated on the internet aren’t factually accurate
An image of nine white, blond women shows “the amazing diversity of Fox News anchors.”

Hahah!

As you can see from the images above, the majority of Fox News’ female on-air talent is white. But they are not universally white. Arthel Neville is African-American and Uma Pemmaraju describes herself as the first Indian-American anchor to regularly appear on national television.

A Facebook post used an image of female Fox News anchors to say that the network lacks diversity in its staff. We found that for those women who are anchors or hosts in any capacity, about half are blond. And while most are white, not all are.

The Facebook image gives the strong impression that all female Fox News anchors and hosts look alike. That’s misleading. We rate the claim Mostly False.

Are they seriously claiming that the brunettes are ‘diversity’? Do they not get the point of the meme?

That is amazing obtuseness.
