A brand-new episode (No. 81) of Addicted to Race is out! Addicted to Race is New Demographic’s weekly podcast about America’s obsession with race.
Carmen and Kai discuss the racial divide in the blogosphere. White bloggers keep asking where the bloggers of color are, when bloggers of color in fact have established thriving communities. This episode features the song “Baby” by Angie Stone, courtesy of Spectre Entertainment.
Carmen is joined by guest co-host Kai Chang in this episode. Kai is a technology entrepreneur and progressive activist living and working in southwestern Connecticut and New York City. Kai was born in Buffalo, New York, grew up in Montreal, Canada, and Los Angeles, California, and attended college in San Diego, Hong Kong, and the Szechuan Province of China. He has worked as a professional software developer for the past 15 years. Kai blogs about politics and culture at www.zuky.net.

I’m a blogger of color , I’m a parent, I blog about race sometimes, I blog about parenting sometimes. I even have a New Demographics widget on my blog.
I never know what to say when someone asks “Where are the people of color” for X (usually antiwar or political meetings).
Anyway, parenting bloggers of color are out there – I’ve run into them – but maybe not be defined as such.
