Love,
I don't Larry is saying that you are wrong - just that the original poster had asked for input from people of color. The groundbreaking novel "Black Like Me" (Griffin, 1961) proved that those who are not minorities cannot understand fully the experience of those who are.
Many Villagers listen on a regular basis to Rush, Glenn, Sean and Ann - all who have made racist remarks on the air. I have one well-educated friend who lives in TV who think that the WWII interment camps for the Japanese were a good idea and should be used now for all Muslims regardless of citizenship and another who thinks that it was only "radicals" in South Africa that wanted to end apartheid - the "regular" blacks were happy with the status quo.
I think anyone of color (or married to a person of color) would want, like Trudy, to be sure they would be welcome by a large majority of Villagers.
