British Horse Racing is ‘Too White’, Industry Told
Breitbart ^ | 2-22-2018 | Virginia Hale

Posted on 02/22/2018 6:32:05 AM PST by goldendelicious

Speaking at the Godolphin Stud and Stable Staff Awards in London on Monday, British Horseracing Authority (BHA) chief Nick Rust said the sport needs to question whether it has a problem with “unconscious bias”.

The betting industry bigwig slammed figures which showed that nine in 10 of the 265 nominations received for the awards, which mark the contributions of around 6,000 people who work in Britain’s horse racing and breeding industries, were from a white British or Irish background.

“We need to look at what lies behind this and ensure far better representation across the various minority groups in future years,” the Racing Post reported Rust as saying.

I think that every time some jackwagon says that something is “too white” they should, immediately, have their larynx crushed. Same applies to those who utter the word “racist”.

Could you even imagine someone saying “there are too many Negroes in the NBA”
______________________________
I am really tired of this “we must give minority views or minority people a chance” and, then, guess what, whatever the minorities are getting a chance at causes the “whatever” to be so bad no one watches it anymore, no one buys tickets, etc.

A perfect example is American football and basketball. It is very clear American white men are not as good at either as black men. So they are not hired. Period.

And if that shoe has fit well, and it has in the USA, why should whites riding horses better than others have to give it away to blacks or browns? Let the browns or blacks get their own horses and develop their own programs. And compete with the whites on equal ground.

By the way, I am sick and tired of finding a preponderance of blacks in advertising slicks, too. Now that is pandering as there is little difference in a beautiful white v beautiful black in terms of photogenicity. If blacks comprise 13% of our total population, lets have the numbers in advertising commercials approach 13%. At this point the last time I counted their representation was 50% plus. Now why is that? If it isn’t pandering what is it?

Did it ever occur to some of these guilt ridden whites like Mr. Rust and the person who wrote the article about the lack of diversity in classical music that most people of color really don’t care about being involved in the horse racing industry or listening to Bach or Mozart?

unconscious bias

I have a conscious bias against politically-correct, race-obsessed Proglodytes.

Must admit more muslims. That would be a problem for those kicked to death while trying to mount the horses.

Austria is much, much too white. On a completely unrelated note that is not related to that at all, because I certainly don't notice patterns, Austria has absolutely no crime, whatsoever. I wish we could figure out the reason for that, so we could replicate their success. But again, I'm drawing a blank.
