Understanding bias, a necessary tool for day-to-day survival, along with how to manage that bias effectively and relate it to the debilitating exercise of prejudice and destructive manifestations of racism, is necessary for organizing and community development within any area that is comprised of residents from multiple ethnicities or within any area needing to collaborate with those of other ethnicities. In this chapter, the author relates his own experiences in community development as they relate to these topics. Hard won lessons, including naive assumptions about not only how racism between Hispanics of different ethnic backgrounds can manifest, but how racism can even exist within ethnic groupings, are explored with a view of how to manage within such circumstances.
