We ARE Different
It’s okay to acknowledge differences
Having a preference to one activity or another is no more a “black thing” “Asian thing”
or “white thing” than the idea that cars are for boys and dolls are for girls
It’s a recreational activity
oIt doesn’t know race
We need to encourage participation
Examples of Motivation for Participation
