Re: FIRST Experiences as a Person of Color

I have never seen the traditional, overbearing racism in FIRST. However, I come from the unique stance of growing up in a 75% asian 20% white 4% hispanic 1% black community.
On my team at least, there is a lot of "subconscious" racism. It manifests in the way we group ourselves into racial groups or gender groups; it's hard to find an example of a perfectly integrated hangout group, although I don't feel like anybody purposefully tries to bring others down or up. How it has affected me or others, it's hard to tell.
