 but if you add that most white missionaries here are also evangelical, at
 what point
 does it need to be seperated.  When there are big mainstream groups, and
 people
 generally belong to them in the mission community, we can generalize.  But
 more
 importantly I see the same parallels on the web, and don't know why one would
 be
 surprised.

 I should say that there are people with white skin who are not white.  There
 are
 also a few Akhas who have become white.

 But if I get one white missionary who isn't like this I will let everyone
 know.
