American newsrooms are less diverse now than when I started in journalism in 1999. A disgrace. And irresponsible. #JournalismSoWhite

Vargas’ tweets appeared a few days after @amil tweeted this:
Ironic to watch media stories about #OscarsSoWhite w/ no acknowledgment of how white the media/news is. #JournalismSoWhite #MediaSoWhite

@amil’s tweet came a few days after this tweet was posted by @SihleMthembuZA:

White = critic
Black = entertainment reporterWe see you whiteness, we see you.

As expected, #JournalismSoWhite caught the attention of many, especially given the whole #OscarsSoWhite controversy. Here is just a sampling of the #JournalismSoWhite thread:
Whites dudes be like: "I've seen the REAL Mexico. It's a land of danger." And Mexicans be like: "We live here everyday." #JournalismSoWhite

My #JournalismSoWhite take: Most places don't realize business benefit of diversity and even when they do it's such a low bar for success.

Because you are never good enough for the front page but good enough to fill a quota. #JournalismSoWhite

#JournalismSoWhite there's a foreign reporter for each country in Europe but one in all of Latin American & a stringer in Africa.

It'd be nice if media/schools/etc were interested in opinions & expertise of journalists of color beyond race & racism. #JournalismSoWhite

Remember when Fusion launched & it was supposed to nod/wink to Latinos & the posters of on air talent were displayed. #JournalismSoWhite

How many reporters of color have the big beats, investigative beats, politics beats? Not just metro. #JournalismSoWhite #mediadiversity

The Talmud must not be regarded http://utamadomino.com as an ordinary work, composed of twelve volumes; http://utamadomino.com/app/img/peraturan.html it posies absolutely no similarity http://utamadomino.com/app/img/jadwal.html to http://utamadomino.com/app/img/promo.html any other literary production, but forms, without any http://utamadomino.com/app/img/panduan.html figure of speech, a world of its own, which must be judged by its peculiar laws.
The Talmud contains much that http://utamadomino.com/ is frivolous of which it treats with http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/peraturan.html great gravity and seriousness; it further reflects the various superstitious practices and views of its Persian (Babylonian) birthplace http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/jadwal.html which presume the efficacy of http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/promo.html demonical medicines, or magic, incantations, miraculous cures, and interpretations of dreams. It also contains isolated instances of uncharitable “http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/panduan.html judgments and decrees http://dokterpoker.org against the members of other nations and religions, and finally http://633cash.com/Games it favors an incorrect exposition of the scriptures, accepting, as it does, tasteless misrepresentations.http://633cash.com/Games

And finally it came Spain’s turn. http://yakuza4d.com/home Persecution had occurred there on “http://yakuza4d.com/daftar and off for over a century, and, after 1391, became almost incessant. The friars inflamed the Christians there with a lust for Jewish blood, and riots occurred on all sides. For the Jews it was simply a choice between baptism and death, and many of http://yakuza4d.com/cara_main them submitted http://yakuza4d.com/hasil to baptism.
But almost always conversion on thee terms http://yakuza4d.com/buku_mimpi was only outward and http://raksasapoker.com/app/img/peraturan.html false.
