The Race Card Project, among other things

Blog posts topical to #theracecardproject, assembled partly in preparation for #wpc14
Wherein RantWoman confesses to having designed an intake form that does not include an option for mixed race / mixed ethnicity and statistical hilarity (?!?) arising from further bad assumptions

Wherein there are numerous places in a muddled narrative where race is one big part of how actual data looks and maybe RantWoman should pull together some maps to make her point.

Wherein RantWoman manages NOT to hyperventilate about differences in possible perception because Irrepressible Nephew and his father are of Guatemalan heritage.

Special bus geek terminology notes: RantWoman has experience with more than one bus system where drivers develop comparable shorthand about significant bus stops. RantWoman's experience and awareness of history in Seattle, the intersection of Twenty Third and Union represents many cycles of redlining, cross-race dialogue, gentrification, and intra-family dialogue as different members of RantWoman's extended family have come and gone from RantWoman's immediate orbit. Hence the blog tag, which is as idiosyncratic as many of RantWoman's other blog tags.

Further meditations for all the other Quakers come to town for the White Privilege Conference:

--RantWoman is not sure why, but RantWoman had not even the faintest leading until after registration has closed to forward info about the White Privilege Conference to the contact list lurking in RantWoman's email for the Pacific Northwest Quaker Women's Theology Conference.

RanWoman IS all about doing what she can to have the next conference do the work to include women from Spanish-speaking Friends churches. Many are eager and see this is both possible and reasonable; others are still to be labored with. RantWoman would be happy to talk to visiting Friends about the dialogue across Friends traditions which are woven through the Pacific NorthWest Quaker Women's Theology Conference.

--RantWoman will post a separate item extracted and expanded from email about leadings she is seasoning related to the Friends Committee for WA Public Policy,
