I am not being sarcastic. SAE is a very large organization and it wouldn't surprise me that there were members who were qualified for this position.
I'm sorry, everything doesn't need to be cured by a magical black woman*. Every SAE member isn't a racist white guy and I'm just wondering whether they exhausted every avenue before turning to the outside.

There are actually two issues, here, in internal vs. external and white guy vs. not white guy, and in both cases, it seems the former may have more credibility with members, but the optics of it may be worse for outside observers.
Which is to say...there are down sides to any combination...at least from the perspectives that can be espoused by people with no actual insight into the candidates and hiring process (i.e. us).
White guy member: they aren't really interested in change
Non-white guy member: they are tokenizing and putting the responsibility for diversity on their non-white members.
White guy non-member: they aren't even interested in diverse hiring
Non-white guy non-member: magical negro
Ultimately, I hope they chose the person who will affect the most change, and that it works out well for both SAE and Ms. Canty.
