I come from an area of the country that is predominantly white. I cannot remember anyone I went to school with who was non-white except one boy half Indian. I would say I was guilty of racial prejudice. I moved to an area of the country which is very diverse. I became a JW here. I belonged to only one congregation and I would say that my attitude towards different races has completely changed. I would say that I never noticed racism in the congregation. Is it because I am white? I don't think so as I am acutely aware of racism in the wider community. I have a number of Africans working for me and I know how they are treated. Also, being white other white people seem to be happy to make racist comments in conversation.
