The Clinton Foundation made headlines last week when it announced that, despite the fact that Hillary Clinton is actively running for president, the charitable organization would continue to accept foreign donations. However, it would now only accept money from a few choice governments.
Some diversity advocates have seized on the revised donation policy, noting that the six countries that can continue donating to the foundation—Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and the United Kingdom—are overwhelmingly rich and white.
A Free Beacon analysis has determined that these six countries are all located in either Western Europe, Scandinavia, North America, or Australia, four of the whitest places in the entire world. Two of those countries in particular—Norway and Canada—have earned legendary reputations for whiteness. Both enjoy hockey, for example. The Netherlands, meanwhile, has a fetish for bicycles, one of the whitest contraptions known to man.
How white are these countries? Consider the list of Olympic medalists for the individuals and team dressage [horse dancing] competition, and behold their dominance.

This whiteness is reflected in the leadership of the approved countries. Four of the six are currently led by white males; the other two by white women. It’s a bit of a "white dude fest," a term some have used to described Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign team.
The new policy will bar donations from more diverse African and Middle Eastern countries that have all donated generously in the past. Algeria, for example, donated $500,000 while Clinton was still serving as secretary of state. The Clinton Foundation does plan to hold a conference next month in Morocco that was funded by a $1 million donation from a government-owned phosphate mining company, but has already canceled a number of other scheduled events around the world.
Hillary's apparent disdain for diversity could leave her vulnerable to a primary challenge from the Democratic Party's diverse stable of candidates, which includes Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Jim Webb, and Martin O'Malley.
