Rolling Stone's List of "The 100 People Who Are Changing America" includes* a grand total of 13 men of color and 15 women, only 2 of color.
The best part is how at least 4 slots are filled with two white men, i.e. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert were collectively counted as #5, making the list even more whitestraightdude-heavy.
It's hard to ascertain how many LGBTQIs are included on the list, for obvious reasons, though the only out person who really registered is Rachel Maddow. I might be forgetting someone.
Suffice it to say, the editors of Rolling Stone are not among the people who are changing America.

* Based on my knowledge of the people included on the list, which means it is conceivable I may have misidentified someone, although I did research where possible.
