"But what is ?color?. The distinctions between people in terms of color have nothing to do with white or non-white. Does anyone think of themselves or their neighbors as non-white? Are any of us are white?" I find that people who are in the majority race-wise have the privilege of ignoring their race. They are able to look at other markers of diversity when it comes to housing or community. It's simply not the case for non-white people. When I apply for a job, talk to a realtor, or even go shopping, my race matters. When our cohousing group talks about diversity, I want them to be clear that they welcome diverse people. And that means saying, "we have non-white and gay people." It matters to me, and I think other people of color would agree. It needs to be said out loud. Crystal Farmer Charlotte Cohousing Community
