Look at this photo of Ursula von der Leyen’s new team – and tell me the EU doesn’t have a diversity problem
Shada Islam
How very dare ethnic Europeans run Europe?
For illustration’s sake run this the other way around. Howsabout a European running Gaza?
Isn’t that what they’re complaining about there?
The UK certainly has a diversity problem.
Scandalous, I call it. I searched and searched through the faces in that photo but there is absolutely no sign of the Toolmaker’s son.
It’s an absolute scandal that the EU isn’t run by the collective hive-mind of the Guardian Columntariat!!!!
“Our camel has stuck his nose into your tent. Not only is he unhappy with his sleeping quarters, he’s objecting to your speciesist assumptions as to how the whole camp is run…”
Maybe Ursula von der Lyin’s team doesn’t want to be inflicted by the Rape Culture that proximity to diversity so often unleashes?
Its outrageous. VdL said she wanted 50% women and some of the member states refused to send women to be commissioners choosing instead to send men.
If only VdL had been able to choose he own favourites instead of the PMs of member countries choosing their favourites the EU would be a much better place, I’m sure.

Shades of Humza Useless ranting hatefully about Whites holding every top position in Scotland.
Her piece, needless to say, is not supplemented by how progressive the UK is compared to the EU in appointments of the diversity here.
Time for another reminder:
In the European Parliament, the party with the highest proportion of Visible Ethnic Minorities was the UK Brexit Party.
This tart was born in Lahore.I wonder just how many white Europeans there are in the pakistan parliament?
“I hate white people, innit” – Muslim Bigots
Islam is institutionally misogynist. So why do females remain believers once they are in a country where it’s safe to be apostate?
Philip – the worst bigots are usually the females.
That picture shows *incredible* diversity. I see three Poles, four Frenchies, a handful of Germans, couple of Eye-Ties, some Sprouts, some Paddies, a couple of Greeks, and a scattering of Scandies and Iberians. What’s the bint wittering about?
