I thought it would be interesting what people would pull from this. If you notice back at the starting point, there wasn’t only one race represented, although to be sure those left behind were predominately minorities. And the speaker did make one reference to race/ethnicity before starting the kids running. Some of the criteria related to family (and particularly fatherly) involvement, most all were socio-economic.
I found it to be very thought provoking on many levels.
