MSNBC.com contributor Eve Tahmincioglu reports that the top echelons of most U.S. companies remain very white and very male. And it’s not just heartland companies like Wal-Mart: Count Urban Outfitters among the offenders. Tahmincioglu writes:

Last month, Calvert Investments and Connecticut’s Treasurer tried to get Urban Outfitters to agree to consider bringing women and minorities onto its seven-member, all-white male board.
“What we asked was that every time they consider a slate of directors, they also consider a woman and or a minority as part of that slate,” said Aditi Mohapatra, a senior analyst with Calvert, an investment management company that focuses on socially-conscious investing. The shareholder proposal didn’t require that more diverse candidates be appointed, she noted, just that they agree to make a concerted effort to at least think about diversity.

Urban Outfitters didn’t budge.

“They said, ‘We don’t have any diversity problem,’” Mohapatra said.

…not that I needed more reasons to never spend money at UO again, but…wow.

Maybe people will stop paying for their ridiculously priced clothes, now.  Then again, maybe not.

“We don’t have a diversity problem.” Ha.

another decent store off my shopping list.
