The USA does not have equal demographics. Demanding an even split of every skin color in the USA is idiotic and un-representative. The most "reasonable" diversity position is to have the council match actual USA demographics, meaning 62% white, 16.9% Hispanic, 12.6% black, and 5.2% Asian.

That council is not white or Asian enough.

If we're doing real diversity, then it should probably better match the demographics of the city:

San Francisco Demographics

According to the most recent ACS, the racial composition of San Francisco was: - White: 46.41% - Asian: 34.40% - Other race: 7.68% - Two or more races: 5.57% - Black or African American: 5.21% - Native American: 0.37%- - Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander:0.36%

Additionally: - gay or lesbian: 15.6% - 49% female

If they want real diversity, they're going to need to fire half of the women in the council. They probably only need two homosexuals.

So really, they need: - 7 whites - 5 Asians - 1 black - 1 Hispanic - 1 other

Of course only half should be women.

The two homosexuals are probably White or Asian there, so if probably just select one homo in each of those two brackets. But they could make one of them from another bracket for fun. Of course if they want more homosexuals they could always pack the board.............

Why is it only a 15 person council rather than a 150 person council....
