House Democrat to Top Bankers: "You Appear to Be White Men" (Video) Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) asked seven of the nation’s leading bankers on Wednesday to confirm their race. “As I look at the panel, and I’m grateful for your attendance, the–the eye would perceive that the seven of you have something in common. You appear to be white men. I may be mistaken,” Green said at a hearing of the House Financial Services Committee. “If one among you happens to be something other than a white male, would you kindly extend a hand into the air? Kindly let the record reflect that there are no hands in the air and that the panel is made up of white men,” I found this on 8chan.
