GREAT POINT. So why does everyone assume the family in the article is indicitive of EVERY black family, thus creating a DOUBLE STANDARD? That's the only reason why I made that comment. To show that it goes both ways!
damasa, I see where you are coming from. What I mean is the danger comes from having that *one* minority member and becoming comfortable, as if you are now DIVERSE and therefore beyond scrutiny.
Diversity ITSELF is not a goal. PLURALISM or COEQUALITY is.
