gunsmiths of color

I was aksed a question today by a young man looking to start into the gunsmith trade, he wanted to know "if there were any gunsmiths of color" the following was my reply "As to gunsmiths of color in over thirty years as a gunsmith and having contact with hundreds of smiths throughout the world I have never asked what color they are. I assume there are some but I really can't tell you its not something that comes up in our conversations. I don't believe it would make much difference one way or another a gunsmiths success is based on his workmanship and reputation. In today's world with computers customers look at a smiths web site, check out forums to learn about a smiths work, many times we received guns from all over the country and never meet the customers." Have any of you had work done by a gunsmith of color?

Questions like that typically come from liberals who would have a hard time in the conservative world of firearms. Sounds like a chip on the shoulders question. Any conservative I've met would only care, as stated above, can you do a good/great job at a good/great price? I'm a Christian and would rather have work done by a Brother in Christ but would also rather have a heathen do the job if the Christian would screw it up.
