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!
- A white friend of mine was headhunted from Toronto to relocate to Bermuda for a design job.i_monk

When I born, I black,
When I grow up, I black,
When I go in sun, I black,
When I cold, I black,
When I scared, I black,
When I sick, I black,
And when I die, I still black.You white folks....
When you born, you pink,
When you grow up, you white,
When you go in sun, you red,
When you cold, you blue,
When you scared, you yellow,
When you sick, you green,
When you bruised, you purple,
And when you die, you gray!
So who you calling colored?- So which race has the bad grammar?Noggin

There's nothing racist about being proud of your background as a minority.

Couldn't you say "few and far between" about any occupation regarding blacks (or any minorities in any given country)?
As zoozoo said, "white people are more than black people".
