The Federal Reserve is facing a backlash over its lack of diversity in key positions after it emerged this weekend that John Williams, the current president of the San Francisco regional branch, is a front-runner to succeed William Dudley as head of the powerful New York Fed, reports Bloomberg.
Bloomberg continues:
[C]riticism over lack of diversity could pose a real problem.Hey, who cares about policy (not that Williams is any good) just bring in people with different skin colors or people who identify as non-white!
“We are dismayed by the prospective failure to appoint someone who reflects the diversity of the district and the opaque process by which he was selected,” said Jordan Haedtler, campaign manager for Fed Up, an advocacy group that has pushed for greater Fed diversity.

Diversity 'til death, I say. Let's apply it to the English language too! The letter "x" is too under-represented, and letters "a" and "e" far too over-represented----time we start affirmative action forx thex letterx x.
