What's it like to be white? Black? Latino? Asian? Let me hear from you.

How often do you think about your own race on a day-to-day basis?  Are you aware of the race of those around you?  Do you interact mostly with people of your own race or another race?  Describe the feelings you experience in this area.  Does your own race impact how you live your life, or how happy you are?  How does race affect your family and friends?

---

If you are white, have you ever thought about these questions before?  Think about whether you notice your own race very often.  If you are black or Latino or part of another minority, reflect on how often you think about your own race on a typical day.  Describe how you think society effects your awareness of your own race as you go about your day.

Do you think white people have less than, the same as, or more responsibility to be cognizant of racism than black people or other minorities?

Thanks for any thoughts you have!
