The number of white men on the governing body has often come up for discussion. The Negro member has been called the 'token black.' No reflection on his race, but it just seems odd that with the great number of witnesses around the world, in such a variety of countries, that every member, but one, is white.
In your opinion, [with 8 as the target number]
what would be the best racial mix for the Governing Body to have maximum effect on the rank and file?
AND
Why do you so answer?
You may feel that 3 Asians, 2 Hispanics and 3 Negroes would get more 'hearing ears' from the brotherhood.
Maybe 1 Japanese, 1 Vietnamese, 2 Native American Indians, 1 Spanish, 1 Nigerian and 2 from Haiti would be better for the organization.
What mix do you think would be superior to 7 whites and 1 black?
