Comments on: Statistics show Gov. Scott's staff 'less diverse' but isn't this a case of splitting hairs?

Maya, I was referring to the midtown/south side area, which has a higher concentration of blacks.

The times is located at 490 First Ave. S.

You travel three minutes south of its location, you’re square in the middle of midtown.

That is still 30% not white which is higher than the rest of the state.

Located in a mostly minority community? Please. St. Pete is still +/- 70% white. http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/12/1263000.html

The St. Pete Times is different. If the Times was a right-leaning paper owned by Republicans, that would be different. If it was the Washington Times or the New York Post, I would agree that they are racist.

Very hypocritical coming the St. Petersburg Times. The paper is located in a mostly minority community, yet has no African-Americans or any other minorities,excluding white women, on its editorial board.

If you’re going to play the “Who Has The Most Tokens” game, cover your own bases first.

Further proof that Scott is a racist.
