Re: FIRST Experiences as a Person of Color

One of the things I am most proud of with my team is it's diversity. We have had many people from many walks of life and from other countries. It helps give you a real perspective on life.
I have gone to many FIRST events around the country. Some event there is a high level of diversity (Ontario Canada events come to mind) and at other events I'm usually the only person of color there. I still feel very welcome. I have never encountered a racial issue at a FIRST event. FIRST is full of truly kind, generous and professional people to engage in such foolishness when there is work to be done.
