For many years critics have assailed the elite composition of the United States diplomatic corps. This criticism was made of the Diplomatic and Consular Services, and since these organizations were merged by the Rogers Act of 1924, the same charge has been directed against the Foreign Service. The Foreign Service is condemned for overrepresenting the affluent, residents of the Northeastern United States, Protestants, and graduates of a small number of prestigious Eastern colleges and universities. More recently, the criticism has broadened to include the virtual exclusion of women and non-whites from the Foreign Service
