#InternsSoWhite: Severe Lack of Color Clouds Paul Ryan’s Selfie with Capitol Hill Interns

*Speaker of the House Paul Ryan took a selfie with dozens of Capitol Hill interns and shared it on Instagram Saturday with the caption, “I think this sets a record for the most number of #CapitolHill interns in a single selfie. #SpeakerSelfie.”

I think this sets a record for the most number of #CapitolHill interns in a single selfie. #SpeakerSelfie.

It may have also set a record for “the most number of #whiteinterns in a single selfie,” someone pointed out in the comment section.

In fact, the comment section turned into the location of a new game, where folks scoured the photo trying to find anyone of color.

Twitter had similar responses:
