[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you seriously going to complain about a piece of media where there are too many brown people and not enough white people represented?

You realize that's pretty tone deaf, right?[/quote]

+1 I work for a non-profit that does excellent work with you (our staff is beloved and our youth have amazing outcomes). We use a near-peer model and have transitioned over decade from a mostly white staff serving mostly kids of color to a staff, including leadership, that looks like our students. And now, this is exactly what I worry about when I send out a newsletter-if there aren't any white people does that mean I'll start getting notes from white people (and I do) that they no longer feel connected to the organization-for reasons they can't quite articulate. As a white person working with a majority of people of color, living in a neighborhood with a majority of people of color, sending my kid to a school with not a ton of white kids, I say embrace the change OP. It's been a long time coming.[/quote]
