This statement... there is just...
I've LIVED in the south and most of the folks I met down there were not only more accepting but far kinder than anyone I've met in the Northeast. So, do me a favor and stop it with the stereotyping of anyone outside a city as some sort of redneck yokel.
And, on the topic of more volunteers as PoC, allow me to show you an example of what we see in VMS...
So, you tell me, PoC or not?
For more fun, what gender is this person?
The point is, if that's all you know about the person it's pretty hard to guess. Not saying that judges and refs should all be older white men, but definitely saying, cut the VC's some slack, they are working with who volunteers. If you want to see more PoC or other underrepresented group in the volunteer pool, help us by asking them to volunteer.
