Biden administration political appointees are peddling controversial language about gender and race within the State Department to pivot away from “white male-dominated” diplomacy, a move critics say undermines America’s mission abroad.
United Nations ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield and other senior State Department staffers bring a fixation on race to diplomacy and their criticisms of America’s history and internal agency policies. Multiple senior State Department officials have accused white diplomats of being complicit in systemic racism and said the agency should prioritize the hiring of women and minorities.
Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley, the Biden-appointed diversity czar for the State Department, took issue with the “white male-dominated” national security sector in a December podcast and said, “As a woman and as a minority, I was probably better prepared than my male colleagues, certainly my European-American colleagues.” She defended her remarks in a statement to the Washington Free Beacon.
“One of the challenges leaders face in the Department as elsewhere is ensuring everyone feels welcomed and valued all the time,” Abercrombie-Winstanley said. “The Department’s rigorous entry process ensures America is represented by highly capable diplomats. I believe women and minorities gain these skills early because we must in order to be successful within our own greater American society.”
