  Correction CanHasQBN. I'm from Bermuda. It's not a developing country and has a population that is mostly black but the majority of the designers I've encountered there are white expats. That chalks up to a lot of things and isn't necessarily due to racism but it is what it is.

  To add to that though. I was told straight up by an Art Director in Toronto that my race would make it harder for me to get hired. And Toronto is culturally diverse as hell!
