Not to steryeotype but usually when I see people of color, I see them either as hard core christians or muslims. I don't mean to offend anyone, so all of you overly sensitive people, please keep your comments out. I was just curious if people of color are even familiar with Buddhism?

It's OK, you can call them black people. They know they're black, so you won't be letting a big secret go or anything. Oh, and there are plenty of Asian Buddhists as well. I'm white to the bone, and I am familiar with Nichiren Buddhism though I don't practice it. Is white not a color?

Sure are! I know a few black Zen Buddhists as well as Hispanic Buddhists. In fact, one of my teachers is Hispanic. Buddhism encompasses ALL nationalities and backgrounds. No one is excluded.
If your main interest is in black Buddhists, Check out this link:

There is also a book entitled: Meeting Faith: The Forest Journals of a Black Buddhist Nun by Faith Adiele.

Is this 1957? Last time I checked these individuals were known as African Americans...

Yes, I'm a rather pale hue of peach. I'm not colorless, because last I checked people could still see me.
