I know several minority nerds, just none in this area.  At least none that
will drive 3-6 hours for an meeting in Chapel Hill.  BTW, I just moved to
the area.  If/When I meet some, I will refer them to this group.

Wow! Don't know any minority nerds hunh?
That surprises me.

I guess I take it for granted moving amongst
a diverse group of people. I'm rich and I didn't
even know it.

I haven't been thinking about inviting others to
the group, so I guess I too could do a better
job at minority involvement. I know plenty of
black, hispanic and middle eastern nerds,
some white ones too.
