What was the ethnic composition of your congregation?

Ethnic? Or racial?

In Michigan,
We had mostly Whites, I'd say of Scottish, German, and English descent for the majority
Some Hispanics -- from Mexico, mostly, but also from other Latin American countries
More Blacks than Hispanics, with ancestors that had moved North to get jobs in the auto industry for the most part, which most likely means an African heritage via ancestral slavery in the South

In Ontario, Canada,
We had lots of English and Italian congregation members. No Blacks. No Hispanics that I can remember (unless you count my half-Spanish children). A smatering of Dutch.

But why?

Hermano

I went to the Spanish congo, so pretty much 100% hispanic.

Gregor

Oakies with grammar school educations and Harvard graduate attitudes because they were in on the REAL skinny about the meaning of everything from earthquakes, the Greek word pornea and the real reason why their neighbors didn't like them.

I live in Michigan. The hall I grew up in was almost all white, except for the occasional black family that tended to be hyper-sensitive on race issues (the "oh, you said this because I'm black" types)

outnfree, for your information, Spaniards are not "hispanics". I know most people in the US think they're the same but they're not. Just because they speak the same language doesn't mean they're the same race. A black person and a white person are not the same just because they speak English. Spaniards are Caucasian. They're 100% European. justahuman - but super nonetheless
