Hi Aaron:
Great work with convincing details!
For the long time, I do feel the anti-globoalization movement and even
student antiwar/labor moveemnts had been primarly donimated by middle class
white students.
During the WTO protest in Seattle on Nov, 99, Elizabeth MArtinez wrote an
article critized almost all anti-globo organizers are white pay middle class
people, "where's the color of the organizers?" she argues.
I represents very few non-white activists in this country and we always feel
out numbered, out-cash, out-donation, out-powered and out-respect then most
white organizers.
It clear hit my nerve when I went to last year's USAS conference in Chicago,
I see very few community of color representives, didn't recall any sweatshop
workers came/speak during the meeting.
