      <![CDATA[Given that Elissa Washuta is Native American, can we express our disappointment by those who judge others by the photographed color of their skin and their perceived race? This is the essence of Political Correctness, which, we should note, started in Chairman Mao's China.<br />
<br />
At 11, there is something to be said about putting too much emphasis on youth and less on the wisdom older writers might have, though I am not sure I would bring the lawyers in.

      <![CDATA[Since you have to be 35 or younger I am curious whether this is a violation of anti discrimination laws regarding age.  I can't say if it is or not without more research.  Regardless, the age limit seems unfair and also fixates on mass media's worship of youth and throwing people away when they get older.  Why can't the award/grant be based on merit regardless of the age of the writer?

If 1 spot were given to an Asian person, there would be a disproportionate amount of Asian people represented (1/6th is 17%, 14% of King County is Asian).<br>

      <![CDATA[One of the writers is Native American and a member of the Cowlitz tribe. While it is unfortunate, the truth is Seattle is a very white city (second whitest major city next to Portland), and I think the make-up of the group is largely a reflection of that. <br>
<br>
Diversity is a concern for us, and in the forthcoming program year, we will increase our efforts to reach out to young writers of color, various backgrounds, etc., but in the end, the driving force behind selecting writers for the program is good writing.<br>
