Until there are enough minorities, it'll be very difficult for them to survive. Ring told a story about a friend who was a black graduate student. The friend told Ring that she thought there wasn't an effort to keep black teachers at Nevada. Ring said she doesn't think the state is as white as people think. She said minorities are hidden.
Ring is a Jewish woman.
She attends Temple Emanu-el. She said that in Reno it is hard to feel welcome as a Jewish person. She said kosher food isn't carried in most of the stores, so she has had to go to San Francisco to find the right kinds of foods for Passover. We don't even see a minority. Hopefully most of us are not like that.
