Now wait just a moment - isn't pointing out things are "too white" exactly analogous? Yet that's somehow acceptable to say at almost any major media outlet [1].

Now wait just a moment - isn't pointing out things are "too white" exactly analogous? Yet that's somehow acceptable to say at almost any major media outlet [1]. You yourself implied his comment would have been okay if directed at Christians. Why should white people be the only group that's called out for over-representation?

- Aloha 8y agoAgreed. It's not right to single out any religion, particularly insomuch as some flavor of this insularity can be found in every stream of religious thought that has ever existed Generally, I have low tolerance for any group that segregates most of their existence from the greater whole - but then demands accommodation from the greater whole. Most Jews, Christians and Muslims do not - but some do - those communities who refuse to participate in broader society are in my mind inherently forfeiting their place at the table - simply put, you cannot expect broader society to accommodate your particular needs if you don't participate in it.
