Yes, I see diversity, for me it's more than black/white/hispanic. Perhaps it's because I grew up in what you would classify as "Lilly White" I may have a different perception.

I see people from diverse backgrounds, religions, levels of education respecting one another. There is more to racism than planting a flaming cross on a front lawn. I couldn't tell you how many Muslims, Indians, Asians, Blacks or Hispanics are among us. How many Jews and Catholics? I don't see people in those terms, to wander around giving even an estimated count smacks of racism to me.
