Carolyn Hitt is rugby obsessed and writes for wales online and the western mail
Her rugby bias aside she is a very sharp journalist
She is also on twitter and has written several articles on the denial of racism in cardiff by the establishment who are essentially white males
Her documentary the rugby code breakers talks about butetown legends like billy Boston who went north after being ignored by wales
There were others , most of whom were black
They were accused of taking the money but in the documentary she suggests and many agree with her , that institutional racism was the core of the problem
There is even a statute of billy boston in wigan
Yet he was a tiger bay boy , a cardiffian , and no statue is here for him
Oh that was a long time ago say some
But that's been said so many times before
Cardiff has one of the oldest multi racial communities in the uk yet the denial of racism by white people in cardiff is as much a part of cardiffs history as tiger bay . Beatrice Campbell in her book Goliath wrote those words and they are very relevant .
