As Erik pointed out, we actually are not all that diverse on a number of axes, and I haven't seen much discussion about increasing diversity in the contra community, at least since I joined this list in January. (Which I'm somewhat sensitive about due to my involvement in diversity for Open Source.) Not that I feel it's really my place to push hard on this as a newbie caller, nor do I have much time/energy to push from the dancer side, but I think it's reasonable to point out that Greg is at least somewhat overstating the case. -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html
