For a liberal publication that is constantly lecturing about diversity in the workplace, the Huffington Post is certainly not practicing what it preaches.
Case in point: a tweet by executive editor Liz Heron that apparently wanted to share with the world just how “diverse” her editorial team is:
Notice anything about this @HuffingtonPost editors meeting? pic.twitter.com/7sg4SyraPa

Yes, Liz, we noticed how the room is light on males and skin tones darker than ivory, but thanks for asking.
Others noticed, as well, and offered some much needed humor to hit back against the blatant hypocrisy from the Left:

.@lheron I was told that inferring gender identity based on physical characteristics was the height of bigotry, intolerance. How dare you.

The very question reeks of crumbling gender binarism and cisnormativism. @lheron should resign in disgrace. https://t.co/721x666NJ4

@lheron @HuffingtonPost What I notice is that nobody there is more than 3 years out of college. Ignorant, but cheap as dirt to hire.
