Approximately 45% of Trump’s 63M voters were white men. So yes, they are “over-represented”. In completely unrelated news, Jews are 2% of the the US population but 33% of our Supreme Court. Merrick Garland would have brought that number to 44%.https://twitter.com/LisaDNews/status/1049678576524648449 …

Conversely, Jews are 4% of Trump’s cabinet but only 2% of the population (and significantly less than that as a share of Trump’s voters). Literally double their “fair share”, whereas white men overshot the mark by a mere half more than they “should” have in the cabinet by voters.

Also: who are the 4 poc? I only count three (Carson, Chao, and the outgoing Haley) + one jew (Mnuchin). The rest look pretty white to me. Does she mean Azar cause he’s half Lebanese?

4 poc is an over representation as well: poc only made up about 13% at a maximum of Trump’s coalition. So 3 poc members is pretty fair tbh. 4 is too much. So this is really just a white women vs white men battle as far as “fair” representation. Poc got their share of slots.
