    Yes it does say a lot. But are you asking the right questions when you look for an answer?


    Is this sea of white faces because discrimination exists?
    Did multitudes of non-whites apply for intern positions?
    If they did were they suitable and as/more qualified as another [white] candidate?
    Did the republican process actively [consciously or not] employ racism to not hire non-whites?

    I'm gonna say no on all counts.

    What the response to the image says to me is we focus on race as an excuse, too much. I would rather have a qualified person doing the job [especially in government] regardless of their color and those commenting that it's too white might be the real racists.
