Hi Gail! 
Well, you can add one more AA OtR fan to your list...my hubby. We have
noticed the lack of a lot of minoritites at shows, as well, even here in the
NE. I'll be interested to see what the NYC show looks like when they come
back (I keep hoping, since it was one that was  cancelled) .

Also ,add me to your compliment list on your post...it was very nice and
well-written. I'm in the position of being able to see/ "take part" in more
kinds of racism than many white people, since my hubby is black. So I have a
different perspective than many. Thanks for sharing yours.


peace,
