We can talk about whether we think the preponderance of white folks in
cohousing is good, bad, or neutral, but since in my experience most people
in cohousing are mostly white, that's what you're going to get in a
documentary video. It would feel unethical to me to somehow try to make a
video that featured a higher percentage of people of color than actually
LIVE in our communities -- it would seem like false advertising!
