Virginian Pilot's View of Diversity

I have never met Marvin lake but from his picture he looks like a nice man. He is also the Virginian Pilot's "public editor." Today's editorial "Stepping into other people's boundaries" featured a newsroom panel that
recently discussed the importance of reflecting the myriad aspects of diversity in our pages. The presentation was part of a larger company-wide "Leveraging Difference" initiative.

The panel was composed of
an African-American female feature writer, a white female sports writer and Kim, a male South Korean native

Do you see any group that is not represented in this "diversity panel" at the Virginian Pilot?
I'm sure that Marvin Lake would say that this group represented enough diversity.

Like a said, Marvin Lake looks like a nice guy. A very "diverse" person.
