Speaking at the Secular Student Alliance

How about minority inclusion into SSAs? In the realm of being a minority high schooler atheist I bat a pitiful 0-0-1, but I suppose you would know plenty Hemant. What’s the ethnic makeup of SSAs? How can everyone, but especially student groups, make themselves welcoming?

I say this because you’re the only person of color lined up for now. If there’s going to be any African American speaker it would be even better if they could comment on it. You are awesome Hemant, but blacks outnumber Indians a bajillion to one or so, so they (or a latino) would be the ideal person for that kind of talk.

seconding the need for more atheists of (any) color at these things.

what should you talk about? i say go with funny. pick the most amusing and ridiculous examples of believer silliness from the last few months; it should be easy to do as you’ve already posted a ton of them on the blog. conferences tend to get overly serious and thus boring, and audiences always appreciate some humor to break things up.

you could title it something like, “which of these is the most ridiculous claim by these selected believers?”
