Yesterday, the NYT had a lead story with the alternate, click-bait title of “The Faces of American Power, Nearly as White as the Oscar Nominees”, because (as Sailer has noted) the latter is The Most Important Story in America right now.
The piece is comprised of a series of matrixed photo montages of faces, based on a series of categories, such as:
- Leaders of the Largest American Companies
- Presidents of Ivy League Universities
- U.S. Senators
Those who are ‘minorities’ have their pictures prominently highlighted in yellow. Because, in each list case, the majority of faces are ‘white’, the prototypical, liberal, white NYT reader is apparently supposed to thereby become wracked with guilt.
Regarding the piece’s methodology, the NYT notes: “Race is given according to census definitions, which classify people from Europe, the Middle East and North Africa as white.”
They should come up with a special highlighting color for Jews (it’s too bad yellow is already taken), who are currently lumped together with ‘whites’. Then you’d really see the screen light up, especially in the NYT’s categories like:
- Hollywood Executives Who Choose Which Movies Are Made
- People Who Decide What Music Gets Produced
- People Who Wield the Most Influence Over Which Books Americans Read
And imagine how it would light up if the NYT had included a matrixed photo montage for:
- Leaders of the Largest American Banks
… or:
- Largest Political Donors to the GOP
