Diversity Spoils Everything
110 Answers
As a latecomer to watching and enjoying cycling on the TV I was shocked today to hear calls for more diversity in cycling.
Eh? What?
I thought the fastest riders got into the team?
Why spoil a great sport with political correctness?
Then watching Countryfile, and now the National Trust is turning itself inside out because of some kind of white guilt.
Why oh why do these Social Justice Warriors have to spoil everything?

Why can't we all make less noise and become colour blind well, why don't you?

There may be something in this tho as I see loads of white cyclists all decked out in lycra and on fast bikes looking like pros but never see Asian ones. Yet when I go into town at night i see lot's of B&ME kids riding bikes late at night riding fast but not wearing the gear yet they never seem to be in the pro cycling teams. Maybe the club's just need to try more to attract them to join

\\Yes how dreadful that people want to be treated as equals and not less of because of the colour of their skin//
Equality means an equal chance not an equal result.
anyone can be in the team if they are good enough.
if you ran your own business would you pay someone who is absolutely rubbish just for the sake of diversity and making the number up or would you go for the best regardless of colour.

I suspect its because they see so much potential being lost because cycling teams are mostly white (are they? I never watch any sport at all) if kids from other ethnicities are not being offered the opportunities to get into cycling or if they see it as a white thing and not for them, then what cycling sees is a missed opportunity for the sport.

I tend to find it very helpful in identifying those with extreme views.
When push comes to shove, the teams will not select a slower rider due to his race. I would guess that trying to get BAME rider into the sport at starting levels is the aim, so they can work their way up like any other rider.
