Well, thanks for that contribution Scottmac.
Does no one think this is important, or even worth discussing? Really? I ask because I don't know the answer; I know from my own experience that as a body Cycle Trainers in London are not very ethnically diverse and I wonder why. I wonder why all the nominees in that link Charlie posted are white. I am not reflecting upon their ability to do their jobs or the campaigns they run. Is this true of all cycling campaign groups? Is there a dearth of non-white people getting involved? Does this reflect who cycles in London? Why would any group not ask themselves these questions? If they do, what have they concluded? If no one can ask without a fatuous phrase like 'playing the race card' being used then why are people so defensive?
Charlie, I have no ides why you would think I would ask about a bogus concept like being a 'wealth creator' or why it is relevant.
