<p>[QUOTE=&quot;greglax45, post: 383516, member: 10203&quot;]A Common misconception/ethnocentrism is the thought that black people are impoverished, and have to spend on the necessities, instead extra hobbies.&nbsp; Through history, they have been dealt hard times because of their color, which has definitely hindered and slowed their adaption to this hobby. </p><p><br /></p><p>But eventually, the African- Americans and the Hispanics of our country are going to be very well presented at coin shows, meetings, etc., but saying that <i>today</i>, that they need to save every cent they make, is just plain ignorance.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s also wrong to say that there are income discrepancies among races. There are plenty of white, middle class families in worse conditions than African-Americans or Hispanics.</p><p><br /></p><p>The hobby of coin collecting is adapting to the different ethnicities and races, which has a direct relation to the Democratic Presidential Candidate, Barack Obama.&nbsp; We are going to see changes in the many years to come, and All i can say is Bring them on, and since this hobby is growing, the variety of people will change as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
