Has Palin appointed any people of color?
She may well have a good record in this regard, but I have been unable to find any significant appointments in a half hour of searching.

Alaska is about 5% black, 5% Asian, 5% Hispanic, 15% American Indian according to this:

I am unable to find any people of color in high positions:

I also did a search in google images of "Palin appoints" and "Palin appointed."

2. Probably not
I doubt a person of color has ever even set foot in her home or office.

4. C'mon by the time you get through employing all the relatives and friends in that hick state there's
no slots left. I'm not say'n this family is white trash, I'm say'n that if you thought about what a white trash family would look like, well this is pretty much it.

Alaska, the state I never want to hear about again!
