Issue an Executive order that requires the State Dept. to increase the number of minorities in the Foreign Service

Our diplomats abroad should represent the diversity of our great nation. Yet, according to statistics reported by the Washington Post--"82 percent of Foreign Service officers (the commissioned career officers serving in embassies and consulates abroad as well as some policy positions stateside) are white. Seven percent are Asian American, 5.4 percent are African American, and 5 percent are Latino. About 60 percent are men. In contrast, the U.S. population is more than 50 percent female, more than 17 percent Hispanic and more than 14 percent African American." Thus, we ask the President to issue an Executive order requiring the State Dept. to start increasing the number of women and minority Foreign Service officers, so that the diplomatic corps becomes more representative of our population
