Diversity

So I thought the beginnings on diversity was ok. Usually when I sit through a lecture on that topic I feel uncomfortable. This is not because I am racist in any way. I feel that there is always "white guilt" brought into them. I always find myself feeling like I should be not be proud to be who I am... which is always classified as WHITE or CAUCASIAN. I don't like that classification. There is a lot more to me than that. I am Italian, Russian, Norwegian, Swedish, and Czech. Is it wrong for me to get a little offended when I feel like there is usually a part during diversity speeches where I feel like they are telling me because I am white I must be rich, powerful, and racist? I don't identify with any of these things. Why does it feel like they are always telling people that are white to be sorry all the time? I don't know if this is making any sense or is coming off as racist, which is the exact opposite of the point I am trying to make. Oh well... it's just me thinking out loud...

World Vision Week

To be honest I didn't really go to all that was offered for world vision week. I saw part of the culture dances on Friday night. Since I like to dance and have learned some of the dances that were presented I appreciated it. I also went to the missions meeting. I think I am going to be doing one of the trips this summer. I'm not to sure but I'll see where God wants me to go. As for the guy who spoke at beginnings, I thoroughly enjoyed him. I felt that he had a great way of engaging the audience. It would have been nice if he would have elaborated on the different ways to support missionaries. There was a lot of talk about how it is important to go, but not so much about the fact that all of us are not called to go. Unfortunately I had these two girls behind me at the end of his talk. They wouldn't stop talking... and about stupid irrelevant stuff... shopping, guys, clothes... *barf*
