As an muesli eating guardian subscriber any better newspapers?
The Independent is the only leftish leaning paper I can think off.
I might be dim witted but I think that's a judgement for others ;)
As a white citizen of nowhere liberal metropolitan elite job straling citizen of nowhere I don't feel personally attacked when people point out some activities are very white.
Best to think on how to share the space with others, reaching out can help a lot.
Often it's not overt racism, just social circles that don't overlap, so many local groups here make a point to visit other groups.
The local conservation group works with the Indian community center, the Irish dancing group a colleague of mine goes to visited the Muslim ran center etc etc.

I think the article I linked to is dreadful. The sort of thing the Guardian specialises in, fodder to give the dim-witted something to fume about while they eat their organic muesli.
That's why I made the comparison with cycling. Just because the profile of the participants tends to be skewed toward the white middle class, it doesn't necessarily follow that we're all a bunch of racist bastards.
