Boston Globe Editorial Board Looks More Like America

For some time, the last few times on May 30 and June 27, 2009, I noted how non-diverse, for those obsessed with skin color, the Boston Globe Editorial Board was.

I routinely remined my friends at the Globe that the Editorial Board was all-white and all-male.

Well, I'll be darned if there was not an editorial attacking Tiger Woods in yesterday's issue. I quickly flipped to the Editorial Board profiles' page to see if the composition of the Board had changed. It had!

Are you ready for this? To the six previously liberal, white, males, the Globe added:

Mr. Scot Lehigh - liberal, white, male.
Ms. Joan Vennochi - liberal, white, female
Ms. Joanna Weiss - liberal, white, female, and
Mr. Derrick Z. Jackson - liberal, black, male

Now the Boston Globe Editorial Board can lecture us on its idea of diversity, without being raging hypocrites, because the Board now looks much more like America . . . even though it doesn't think at all like most of America.
