   There's a significant body of research forming around how to get "minority cultural groups" to survive inside a larger, dominant culture. If you look into "cultural resistance" you'll find some interesting books (I recommend the _cultural r

    Are you talking about the PyLadies site itself? I'm not a color expert, but it seems to be mostly red and white. My site's theme is predominantly blue. I hadn't really thought about my color choices until just now.
