In response to what Susan Miracle wrote: This list (hopefully) is not just a venting place for white people. Without a true discussion of racism and power dymnamics in this city this thread should be done. I know that stats are not kept about the heritage of people who post to this list, but these posts are, I feel, not addressing racism in Minneapolis. (I know I am not the list manager but I do think that the rest of the people writing in about being called "white bitch" and how to handle it, or whatever, should be offline).
