How to navigate performative inclusion in community spaces

Our neighborhood association claims to be welcoming but every meeting feels like a performance of politeness that barely conceals who really belongs here. My neighbor and I are the only Latino families and we're trying to figure out if it's worth staying engaged or if we should just focus our energy elsewhere.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Surface-level welcome masks deeper dynamics of belonging that leave minority members questioning their investment.
