First Ohio governor since 1962 to have an entire Cabinet without any racial diversity

Ohio Gov. John Kasich's 20 Cabinet appointments so far lack diversity

COLUMBUS, Ohio â€” Gov. John Kasich is on pace to be the first Ohio governor since 1962 to have an entire Cabinet without any racial diversity.

Every one of Kasich's 20 full-time agency director hires so far has been a white person. Four are women.

The Republican governor is unfazed by critics who charge that he is ignoring diversity in such important public positions. Kasich says he has a tough job, and he has the right to surround himself with whomever he wants to help him get his agenda accomplished.

"I don't look at things from the standpoint of any of these sort of metrics that people tend to focus on, race or age, or any of those things," Kasich told The Plain Dealer. "It's not the way I look at those things. I want the best possible team I can get, and hopefully we will be in a position that we are fully diverse as we go forward.

1. So what's his agenda?

Hoods, robes, and burning crosses? Because it sure isn't jobs!!!

I dunno. Ohio might get the overflow of jobs from Indiana that are leaving Illinois under new onerous taxes.

8. is there an off chance he knows this quote?

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

He probably does, but lefties naturally give preference to unqualified blacks on skin color alone. Look at our president.

17. The November election results will prompt the wingers to

throw off the cloak of civility. They no longer have to pretend to believe in america.

We have never pretended. You on the other only give lip service to even remotely liking the country.

You want to see lack of diversity, DUchebags? Come to New Hampshire and Vermont--most homogeneous states in the nation. Both about 98+ percent white...that's WHITE, not Hispanic.

We've also got some of the lowest crime rates in the nation. Go figure.

So did some of those white European countries before they imported trouble.

Same here where I live. Also areas that are dominated by Asians also have lower crime rates too.

I wonder what the DUmmies think of the newly elected LT Governor here in FL who is a black female Republican.

That's amazing. And outside the urban hellholes, even blue states have low crime rates. Wonder why that is.

So, in other words, Gov. Kasich's cabinet looks like any given set of any given MSNBC show?

We have crossed the eschatological Rubicon in a kayak made of blood libel!
