Within the context of English language and especially American music and interests, what do you hypothesize to be the reason we don't have many African-American, Hispanic, or Native American participants?

I know you and I have talked about a lower percentage of home computers in minority households, but you are certainly not the only person of color in the USA with interests that intersect with the 'Cat. I wonder what the experience is on other web sites, like Tweed's Blues or some of the gospel/spiritual sites. (I don't know if any of the main gospel and spiritual sites have have forums or not.)
