Diversity - Is it going too far?

Re: Diversity - Is it going too far?

So no idea at all then

Get back in your box

What are you talking about? They is clearly an editorial decision to promote stories such as this, as they have done in this case and in many other examples, usually based on a small amount of twitter outrage from a tiny minority.

You have said the BBC is promoting these stories .....about ethnicity and diversity .....at the expense of others

And it's CLEARLY an editorial decision

You have produced no evidence whatsoever that this claim of yours is true

You are talking nonsense

i would say that it's a good thing that people are wondering why there are no black faces in a team photo of a huge football club situated in arguably the most diverse City on Earth.

What do you think they get put on websites without editors say so?! It's not Facebook

There's around 70,000 black, mixed, Asian people living in the borough of Islington, in a total population of around 215,000.

Last summer you said that Cardiff had a insignificant in numbers Caribbean community . I posted something off you tube that would disagree with that

Now listen to yourself ....

Where is your evidence that stories about diversity from the BBC are being given precedent over other stories ?

I am still waiting

Your opinion does not make something a fact

Because sometimes that will happen. Arsenal's men's team has a real lack of white English players. That will also happen. Cardiff City doesn't represent the city of Cardiff at all.

The Great Britain men's basketnball team has no white players.

You can't go around scrutinizing these things too much. Or you can, and you can dog whistle about racism but as I say, I think you'll be contributing towards driving society apart more and merely emphasising that race and skin colour is all that matters.

Did you? Sorry, i don't recall. Probably around 4000 in a population of around 380,000. I would not have used the word 'Insignificant'

You don't think the BBC and others do that then? That they don't deliberately and artificially inflate stories of this kind?

It's considerably larger than that

Your use of the word insignificant was about the size of the community not its importance

That's not the question

The question is where is your evidence that stories about diversity are deliberately promoted over other stories ?

I have asked 4 times now

None of that, just find it very very strange that there isn't one player of colour in that team photo. It's not a common sight these days.

Well I think those from the Butetown history centre would know more about it than you and I

The estimates are that Cardiffs black community is 16000 and 8000 of that is Caribbean descent

The video I posted the other day is really interesting , you may know some of the faces , I will try and dig it out again

Fair enough, i'm not going to argue over it. In the latest census it says that those Cardiff's population consists of 3.8% Black population in an overall population of 362,000 people. That would include those who are African. Whoever is closest, i don't consider it a large number.
