Amoosed, what percentage of your friends are named Kirsten Anderson?
Like 76% here. St. Olaf FTW.
But seriously...the majority of my CWs are neither white, nor American. The majority of my white CWs are not American. I'd say my neighborhood is a pretty big mix of ethnicities. American whites and Somali are in the minority; most are Indian, East Asian or Hispanic and there are a handful of African American and Russian families.
Sent from my Jesus, the app sucks. Patrick - fix it please!
@crackhabit I am somehow just seeing this post of ours. Are you an olaf grad or do you live around a bunch of them?

I ain't sitting in church for 3 hours. I can only imagine how many collections are taken during a 3 hour service. Those who know me know my friends and family are like the UN. Best part of that is your travel and food options. Finally you folks who live in Vancouver are going to stone me but I don't recall it being diverse however I was there for a tradeshow. I didnt't see another black person until I got to Seattle at which time I spent the entire cab ride explaining to my driver I am not Ethiopian.

No. I've lived in Arizona--with pretty diverse Latino population. I went to school and worked with many people from different Hispanic backgrounds. I was an athlete and that had a fair amount of diversity as well. Also while living there I was able to work with and get to know people from various Native American tribes.
Then, living in San Diego--also worked with a diverse group of people from various cultures and nationalities as well as really being working closely for the first time with people from LGBT community.
Like MrsAxilla said--living in Denver/Boulder, I didn't find it very diverse. In my graduate school cohort--one teacher was Japanese, another Jewish another Polish--and our entire cohort--white.
Now...The field I work in is very male dominated--but it is also quite diverse.
