#blacklivesmatter racism is a human problem

Met many high ranking UK dips overseas and in the U.K., all of them white. If Ambassadors are level 1 and their deputies are level 2, I’ve met a total of 3 non-white people at level 3 (although I’m sure there are many more; the jump from 3 to 2 is one of the big filters in the foreign service).

There are efforts to diversify the Foreign Service, but it’s pretty telling that the folks in charge are still white, usually Oxbridge grads with posh accents.
