Please take a moment to complete this informal survey which seeks to understand how race may play a role in your day to day life. The survey questions can also be used to facilitate continued discussions about race and racism.

I've felt invisible in groups where I am the only member of my race.

I can turn on the television, check an on-line news source, or open the newspaper and see people of my race positively represented. 

If I make a spelling or grammatical mistake, I can be pretty sure people won't credit this to my race.

I can count on my skin color not to work against the appearance of my financial reliability. 

It is easy for me to go into any barber shop or beauty salon and find someone who can style my hair. 

I am never asked to speak for all the people of my racial group.

I do not have to educate my children to be aware of racism for their own daily physical protection.

If I wish, I can arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time.

I can avoid spending time with people of a different race than mine if I choose.

I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed.

I can be pretty sure of having my voice heard in a group in which I am the only member of my race.

When I am around different groups of people, I don't see color.

I can easily buy greeting cards, dolls, toys and children's magazines featuring people of my race.
