Diversity - Is it going too far?

Re: Diversity - Is it going too far?

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.

I feel a bit detached from ccfc when they have no local/welsh players. Generic stadium, championship journeymen from hounslow or milton keynes, sullen english manager, an lwner who thinks we are man utd…. As a “stakeholder” in the club , there has been little over the last decade that has made me feel like this is MY club.<< that’s bad.

Having an all-brown team is not the same as having an all-white cnts team due to historical inequalities. It make you look like a simpleton when you compare like for like.

Its turning folk into robots .

The younger generation will grow up frightened to have the strength to speak out , they will fear being cancelled or ignored .

My thoughts are the more mistakes you make the quicker you learn by them .

Classic example saying you don't agree with folk coming in on boats or I don't support BLM views and actions ,does not make you a racist

The youngsters of today are far more tolerant and open minded than you

The people who moan and go on and on about woke are overwhelmingly white , old and heterosexual

You say you are British these days they throw you in jail !

The thing is minority groups of people or people who were and are still treated differently because of who they are, who they are attracted to, the colour of their skin etc. have had enough and found the strength to push back. This is what has happened. It’s ok if you (and I don’t know mean you personally) were born straight ,white and cis (cis - not transgender) because you haven’t faced the extremely challenging struggle growing up. Ok you may have struggled in other ways for example grew up in poverty or family issues etc but when you’ve experienced years of a vast number of challenges as a result growing up in a society where you are treated differently there becomes a time when things boil over and you have just had enough. You then make the demands for changes so this can’t happen anymore or at least reduces it. It’s very easy to say something like people are too sensitive to say something but if you have walked in the other persons shoes - life is far worse vs being worried about saying the wrong thing.
To be honest most times people don’t have an issue with saying something by mistake aslong as it wasn’t done in a deliberate derogatory way. I mean how easy is it to just say oops I actually meant this or sorry I got that wrong and move on. Much easier than facing the daily challenges because you are seen as different which let’s face it - society sees as wrong. Just because someone is in a minority it doesn’t mean you are wrong.
