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.
The White House has already altered State Department policies to reflect aspects of critical race theory.
President Joe Biden reinstated diversity training materials at the department shortly after taking office.
Senior adviser Desirée Cormier Smith criticized white State Department staffers in an October podcast.
Roberts also said the leftwing bent at the department signals a longterm breakaway from how American diplomacy worked during his own career.
