White people shouldn’t be making decisions about US foreign policy

From The New York Post

"For nearly a century, since 1924, the department has weeded out applicants for its coveted overseas posts with the Foreign Service Officer Test, or FSOT — essentially, an SAT for wannabe diplomats.

"The notoriously tough test, with a pass rate rumored to hover around 20 percent, set a high bar for the America’s diplomatic corps. Only those who passed the FSOT went on to a panel interview and other in-person assessments.

"Beginning with this June’s test, the 'single gateway' of the FSOT will be eliminated, the memo said. Instead, the test score will be just one factor among many — essays, the candidate’s 'personal narrative,' work history, and more — that the panel will consider."

Why the change? Well, because the US Department of State intends “to modernize its hiring process to create a more inclusive workforce that hires the best talent and represents America’s rich diversity,” the agency said in an April 25 memo to candidates that has since been publicly posted.

Well, shoot, then. If the purpose of the State Department is to employ a more inclusive work force that represents the country’s rich diversity, eliminate those tests entirely. We don’t need no smart people ensuring the continuation of the US foreign policy. Let’s get some street-wise community organizers telling foreign governments everything is cool.
