Did she complain or did she state a fact?
HUD has had five black directors. Agriculture has had one.
Depending on who you talk to, it can be argued that systemic racism at USDA is the reason there are virtually no Black farmers anymore, and the ones we have are struggling.
Marcia Fudge can't solve racism by herself, but perhaps putting someone who is culturally competent in the driver's seat would do some good.
ETA: I think it's offensive to use the term "complaint" about a Black woman's valid concerns about representation in the highest levels of government.
