I agree Dania, we do ourselves a dis-service if it's not a question we're prepared to address for fear of being discriminatory.
I have asked this before, and was greeted pretty much with a deafening silence.
Personally I have 479 names on my cluster list, only one of whom I know is non-caucasian.
Even allowing for differing levels of internet access, langauge etc., I think there is a definite trend here.
Even in the where we live list here, of over 550 non-US people barely 15 live in countries where one might expect people to be other than caucasian, and though it's by no means certain, the fact that only three of those names sound indigenous suggest the tie even more strongly.
