- AT> Our group exists right at the edge of the world, in the far far
- AT> Southern Reaches. We only know the richness and variety of the SCA in
- AT> the Greater Known World from photos and the tales of travellers. In
- AT> looking at all the photos which have made their way down to us, I
- AT> notice the complete absence of black faces. Why is that? Is the SCA
- AT> in some way culture-specific in not being interesting to blacks? or is
- AT> there some prejudice involved?
- AT> My somewhat limited experience is that SCA folk are liberal in thought
- AT> and deed so I cannot believe that prejudice is the answer. I
- AT> understand that blacks make up about 13% of the USA population, if so,
- AT> why do they appear to be so rare within our ranks?
-
- AT> I'm asking this out of sheer curiosity and hope not to have offended
- AT> anyone.

- Hi there....
- There is no prejudice in the s.c.a. since I've been in .I have seen a few
- black's that was in the antir region very few at that.It could be that they
- are just not interested in the S.C.A. To tell you the truth I really
- don't know this is just my opinion & expirince...
