You may be misinterpreting that post somewhat. The argument seems not to be that sending stuff to Nigeria is not a good thing, but that it's not strictly accurate to describe it as increasing cycling diversity within the UK itself. It is, however, beneficial for cycling in Nigeria.

Nah. Obviously sending garms to Nigeria isn't going to do much for diversity in British cycling, but I assume the KW guy was trying to say that his club is reaching Africa with donations rather than blackface. Tenuous either way, but I don't see how anyone can take KW's actions as a negative thing. Either way, ain't we all meant to be ranting about Rutland CC?

I didn't at any point say it was a negative thing.

I just said, as has been pointed out, that sending aid to Africa is not the same as being diverse and welcoming to underrepresented groups.

Which is something you have conceded yourself. So I'm not really sure what you're taking issue with.
