Just be glad one of them isn’t Pauly Shore.

Seems kind of racist to notice. First, in such a tiny sample set of humanity, that is not a shock. Second, when chosing qualified scientists, you don’t tend to worry if any have the right skin color to not offend someone looking for that. That is no better than seeing one black member and assuming he must be the token…

“You want to make it an issue?”

Racism does not require a power component, the definition hasn’t changed suddenly in the last few years.

From the article:

So much outrage...

Are you black? Most black people I know fully admit they are more racists than whites.

Are you qualified and did you apply for the job? Do you know of someone who did? No? Oh well, shut up than.

Well everyone being sealed inside likely volunteered, so I don’t really understand what you’re trying to get at.

Assuming they only picked the best 7 for the job and if the best 7 were in fact caucasian, I don’t see any issue. You want to make it an issue? That’s racism. This isn’t a Hollywood movie, they don’t have to pick someone just because of their race.
