Don't know how true that is. Because there are plenty of multi-racial people involved in J&J in my region and as a former member, while growing up, several of my age-group fellow J&Jillers were multi-racial. But that's purely a West Coast phenomena.

In other areas, so I have heard and seen how there is exclusivity dividing along racial/ethnic lines. Let's just say that is getting old and a lame excuse for not choosing to treat people with human dignity and respect.
