The FBI Is Too White—And It Considers That a “Huge Operational Risk”

This story was originally published by ProPublica.

Indeed, 10 months before being fired as director of the FBI by President Trump, James Comey called the situation a “crisis.” “Slowly but steadily over the last decade or more, the percentage of special agents in the FBI who are white has been growing,” Comey said in a speech at Bethune-Cookman University, a historically black school in Daytona Beach, Florida.
