Two quotes from OA "if you can’t find an honest-to-goodness, human-centric, non-rich-white-person problem to solve, even if in your spare time and without financial reward, then perhaps design is not a field you should be working in." and "(For the record, I’d consider designing flyers for your local corner store better than what’s touted as ‘design’ in the Valley.)" I live in a non-white area in a city a long way from the 'valley'. We have local printers who do flyers rather well. I get plenty through my door advertising everything from pizza to halal Chinese food through spiritual enlightenment. And we have designers who are non-white as well as designers who are white, and clients who are non-white and clients who are white. There seems to be plenty of good basic communication and design going on. Has OP read Lee McCormack's work (and not the books about bikes)?
