I grew up in an affluent 99% white community.

It could get ugly.

Quitting high school and leaving that place are two of the better decisions I've made in my life.

The interesting thing is that most people there didn't consider themselves racist -- rather they were "color blind."

They were also blind to all the harassment people who were not straight, white, or the right sort of Christian endured.

More diverse teams must have felt like they were entering hostile territory.
