YES!! But you also want to be sure that everyone who is a citizen is given fair shot at the jobs and appointments and I think that's all Tillerson is saying. Apparently over and through the years there has been a heavy reliance on white males at the US State Department, more women and black Americans need more opportunities there because this is a huge department that spans locations all over the globe. There are rules to follow and apparently the State Department is behind on compliance by past administrations, I have no problem at all with correcting any of that, the same as all agencies of the federal government are required to do.
