a slice of life with Miche
Posting as a means to vent into the void.
I've got loving, caring people in my life and am well supported by them.
Venting posts are temporary and will be removed in time.

That is a good point.
However, I will say that one of the benefits of white privilege is that I never, ever have to worry about mentioning my race or ethnicity, period. I don't have to worry about it outting me, and I don't have to worry about assumptions etc. I don't even have to mention it, and people will correctly guess my skin colour 99.9% of the time.
And I have to think that being able to go through my life without thinking about it, if I so choose, is significant. I choose not to--but I could.
I also have a very white-bread kind of blogroll. I'm looking around out there.
Part of the problem is that I want to read blogs that capture my attention. and it's not that I am not interested in blogs by people of other ethnicities, or by that of people with a disability (or a child with one), I just have to find that spark that keeps me there. There are plenty of blogs that I don't read all the time because they just aren't updated frequently (like mine lately) or because the "tone" just doesn't grab me. I don't know. Don't mind me -- I'm loopy with cold meds right now.
Oh, and I'm on your blogroll now! Yippee!
KLee, sorry to hear you're down and out with a cold. I'm getting a scratchy throat and expect I'll be commiserating with you in short order.
Agreed. I don't consciously exclude people. I read what grabs. Still, the results of my blogroll left me a little surprised.
I wonder what I'll do about it.
