Thread Name: How ethnically diverse are we?
Subject: RE: How ethnically diverse are we?
Aren't 99.9% of almost allpeople mostly "good" when sober? I have a bugaboo about generalisations. When we talk of "those people" or "them" we are creating a difference of class; it usually winds up sounding like a put down or attitude of superiority, whether one means for it to or not.

I understand that some white males may feel a little beleagured; but please remember, you are still in the majority and positions of power in most instances, have been for about 2,000 years. Now it is the turn of the rest of us to discover the truths of our his/herstory. I know change can be difficult and confusing, but we are only finding our voices and that can only be good for the entire peoples and planet, as I believe it can help to bring about a "walking in balance" for all peoples and creatures of this great old "ball of clay", as my dad calls it.
