\"Text:<\/a><\/p>\n

As a multicultural, multiracial plural system that is perceived as Black American by the general public, we\u2019ve encountered a fair deal of racial stereotyping and pigeonholing over our seventeen years in the plural community. About a year after we came to terms with our plurality, I wrote the first Race Issue<\/a>\u00a0article after an awkward incident in which someone asked why we didn\u2019t have anyone who matched the front\u2019s racial background (which was both racist and manifestly untrue). We revisited the issue two more times: in 2009, I wrote a follow-up<\/a> to my earlier post, and Em wrote<\/a> from their own perspective in 2014. It\u2019s been nine years since the last time we talked about plurality and race for our site, and we\u2019ve developed new insights about who we are, what we believe and the message that we want to send. So, yet again, it\u2019s time for a Race Issue article, this time as a Q&A.<\/p>\n

Drawing from our outworld experiences, as well as those in our otherworld, we discuss the relationship between race and plurality and its meaning for our system in particular. Em, Vova, Hess, Yavari, and I volunteered our responses.<\/p>\n
