I find it interesting that whenever anyone mentions diversity, the counter response is tokenism and lower or a lack of qualifications. Why is this? Are you saying that people of color and/or women aren't qualified and are just mere tokens? 

Ms. Costales took a stand to bring attention to the lack of diversity of members of the selection panel. When the people making the decisions lack diversity, they tend to select people who are similar to themselves. We have a long history of discrimination against people of color and women in this country and anyone who condones the perpetuation of the lack of diversity is the problem.
