On Saturday, House Speaker Paul Ryan snapped a selfie with a large — and largely homogenous — pool of Capitol Hill interns and posted it to Instagram. In light of the picture’s racial makeup, his caption struck many users as somewhat tone deaf. Unfortunately, the photo reflects the very white reality of Capitol Hill.

It goes beyond race, gender and ability. The DNC interns are just as diverse in their pursuits, interest and backgrounds. 

Johnson isn’t the only person to point out the striking difference between the two classes of interns.

do not hesitate to denounce Johnny Depp. do not hesitate to denounce every other powerful man who is exposed as an abuser. do not mourn the decline of their careers. do not feel you have to revere them or continue to uphold them as icons. do not continue to support them having a platform of influence. stand with abuse survivors.
