Greetings to you white Austin bloggers, you guys rock, I totally see you. I'm just feeling a bit lonely over here and refuse to believe that there are so few black (or brown or other) bloggers in Austin. I know there are only a couple hundred thousand non-whites in Austin in the first place, but there must be more than three of us blogging. I know you're out there! Show your faces!
Calm down. I'm not being racist, or reverse racist or whatever, by bringing this up. This is just my little unscientific experiment to measure the diversity among, and to connect with a wider range of Austin bloggers.
If you're black, brown or "other", say hi and leave your Austin blog link in the comments.
If you're not black, brown or "other", say hi and leave your Austin blog link in the comments. DO you know any? Leave their link too.
If you're shy, email me at homegirlblog at hotmail dot com.
Hi! I'm Omar and I am of a brown persuasion. I'm at several places including http://terribly-happy.com/blogger.html and at http://austin360.com/digitalsavant
Great idea! Hoping to see what other blogs are out there.

Good luck with this experiment. I can't picture very many replies.
I blog over at Musicwhore.org, and I think I'm about one of 20 Filipino(-American)s in town.
(/sarcasm. I know there are many more than that.)

Hi! Welcome!
Diverse voices are needed! Even if they're into consumerism and cosmetics ;)

OK. I'm not liking these numbers. I'm officially on the hunt. Headed to some of the Austin blogger meetups, tweetups and bleetups to see what I can see.
@Omar-Thanks! We will keep hope alive. LOL
@lmk- Thanks for chiming in. Also I am so not feeling the love from that wink and smile.

I got tired of blogging, maybe one day I will get back to it but I found it's easier to KIT with my family and friends via fb, they just don't read the blog that often :( But you already know where to find me ;)
