[J. D. Littlefish]

I operate a youth program open to all young people 12 to 20 in Fort Wayne. As with other programs funded by grants, I must report the demographics of the youth in the program (age, race, sex, economic level, single-parent houshold, etc.). We all say we want people to treat each other based on individual attributes and qualities, but first, we must identify their differences to prove we we don't treat them differently. Does anyone else find this ironic, or worse, counter-productive? I hate having to identify race or economic status of the young people in my program to justify whether we are serving the 'right' portion of the community.
