Not Only What You Like

Like most courses, Multiethnic Reporting is what ever you make of it, but unlike other courses MR is also whatever the class makes of you.
Through the, somehow, forced encounters with the others (those who look or appear completely different from us) we (or I) experienced the trill of the unknown, the challenge of the equal perception, the difficult task of looking beyond the surface and specially the mind changing exercise of reporting in a fare way.
Fare may not be politically correct all the time, it goes beyond that.
Being equal may have nothing to do with getting along with all ethnicities as you get along with your people .
And too look beyond any surface, you need to let people show you and talk to them without fears or restrictions.
If I look objectively to what I got from MultiEthnic Reporting Course it may not be much: A blog (that i quit like and will continue), a couple stories, a bunch of new places that I would not ever known and a whole spectrum of people with backgrounds and stories that are invaluable.
On the subjective level there is so much to be said, but of course I'll be falling on the subjectivity of the results and they may not be taken as seriously. However, I can say that Multiethnic Reporting can teach you that a black is always going to be a black, but a black reporter is always going to be a back reporter too, so you have to be you, authentic, and just aware of what is out there and be able to capture it as it is, not as you like it to be, or as you are.
