Oh piffle!  Grew up in CA, up and down the coast.  60s liberal.  People's 
Park, Alcatraz alumni.  Slumber parties with Nancy Ling Perry.  Protests on 
the capital steps when I was 5!  I logged 35,000 miles a year traveling from 
one side of this continent to the other hauling horses.  Canada, Mexico, the 
Bahamas, England and had an invite to Bahrain.  Lived in Mexico.  Hobnobbed 
with millionaires back in the days when a million was worth something.  Knew 
presidents, talked to mucky mucks in government on a routine basis, even had 
parts in Disney movies (Pollyanna anyone <g>) and had celebrities donate 
time for my fundraisers for DD children.  Still "talk" to folks in Russian, 
the Ukraine, Australia, England, Germany, Belgium, Finland, Canada, and a 
dozen or more other countries.  I've got cousins living in just about every 
country on the earth and have relatives married to folks of just about every 
color and shade thereof.

And if working the Gladiator Schools doesn't give ya a "broader array of 
racial and cultrual interactions," pray tell what does!
