Ohio cabinet all-white for the first time since 1962!

I honestly have to wonder: would a black governor be criticized for hiring all-black people for his or her cabinet?

Any Black Governor capable of such a choice would have been asssassinated by the FBI decades ago during the heyday of the anti-Panther campaign. Idiot.

Also, of course, this:

Ohio isn't actually that diverse.

Perhaps the threshold question is whether there were any reasonable choices out there for positions in Kasich's cabinet who happen to be black whom Kasich passed over.

There are literally hundreds, probably thousands, of "reasonable" choices for such positions, so Kasich fails your test but only because you're setting the bar ridiculously high.

His partisan affiliation.

No.

Nobody has answered my question.

How many non-whites has Ohio averaged per cabinet since 1962?

That's because we haven't a clue.
