Diversity

[ray1970]

Not sure if this is totally appropriate but I can asure you my intentions are honorable.

I've noticed over the years that the ethnic diversity of this site is really quite amazing. Meeting some of you face to face for the first time can be quite surprising at times. I really think it says a lot that a love for our hobby and sport transcends such a wide range of cultures and beliefs.

Thought I would throw up a poll just to get an idea of just how diverse our little family is. Feel free to respond or feel free to move on by if you choose.

Each and every one of you has proved to me that no matter what our background we all have a lot in common.

I didn't notice an option for "troll". I think you have alienated several of our members by not including their ethnic identity.

May I suggest, instead of other, Two races or more ? For example, I have 5 races (Spanish, Native Indian, African, Irish, English) ( Yeah 500 years ago, the Spanish had lots of fun in PR, lol) and since most of us are mutts.

Normally when people call me a Mexican I tell them, get it right, it is tropical Mexican ( Heard it in a movie about Marines, I forgot the name of it, fun HBO series)

That's what "other" is for.

Sorry. Was just trying to keep things simple. If I listed everything I could think of I would probably still miss something and have somebody feeling left out.

Nunya is a perfectly acceptable answer.


Also, mods... If this gets out of hand for any reason, please feel free to lock it out or delete it or whatever. I promise my intent was not to get anyone riled up or offend anyone.

You shouldve gone w/ Federal standard.. they only ask "Hispanic or Not Hispanic"

No, I am not offended, I just forget to to use the smilies sometimes with my meager attempts at humor.

Saltine American, I think is the new PC term these days for my skin tone.
