Social media users are criticizing President Trump
Donald John TrumpTrump: WHCA picking non-comedian for headliner a 'good first step' Five takeaways from Mississippi's Senate debate Watergate’s John Dean: Nixon would tell Trump 'he's going too far' MORE’s White House for a lack of diversity among its interns.
The criticism comes after the White House released a photo Friday of its spring interns posing with Trump.
Twitter users pointed out a lack of diversity among the interns in the photo, comparing it to White House intern classes under former President Obama.
This isn’t the first time a photo of White House interns in the Trump administration has been scrutinized. A White House intern said last year that he wasn’t making a white power gesture in the intern photo with Trump after social media users said he appeared to be doing so.
Here’s what some social media users had to say about the new intern photo:

I missed the fall intern photo, but last summer and this spring, the White House had a combined 206 interns. Among them: 3 black men. 0 black women. Out of 206. Such a toxic organization. pic.twitter.com/NLxUzdopa8

The White House intern photo is like a Where’s Waldo for a non-white person—in a country that is about 40% non-white. pic.twitter.com/UiBLewAurE

The Trump White House interns could be the whitest group I’ve ever encountered.
