(27,787 posts)So I took the image and put it in my graphic editing program ... and enlarged it.
And if you look closely, in the second row, way over to the right side, at the very edge, there is a guy who looks like he "might" be Hispanic. Its hard to tell, but some one should check his papers just to make sure.
I was also impressed by the number of men who are going bald. Lots of those. And then there is a much smaller number of men with mustaches and beards.
Most of the people have their hand over their heart, but if you look hard, you can find one guy who is Saluting (hint, he is on the right side).
Way in the back, left of center, there is a person who appears to be wearing a duck mask.
And, while everyone seems to be looking forward, there is one guy who has turned and is looking way in the back for some reason.
So yes ... a very diverse group!!!

(21,786 posts)Minnesota is 85% white. Couple that with demographic voting patterns (90% of black voters vote Democratic) and this is not especially surprising. One would expect somewhat more diversity in Minneapolis and St Paul, but you're not really talking about a diverse population to begin with.
