Even if a candidate were to randomly hire their staff, one would expect that there would be at least one or two diverse people. A candidate has to be doing some pretty severe filtering if s/he has NO minorities on her/his staff. Particularly in this day and age. Just wanted to throw the question out there and see how people respond. Cheekyricegirl: I tend to agree with you because of what John points out in his comment.

Even random hiring for one's staff, especially out of all the folks Giuliani knew during his New York City days would come up with some minorities? That's pretty sad.
