The Environment Agency — Britain’s version of the EPA — funded research that concluded that white, male narrators on nature programs could make minorities feel excluded.
"The tendency for environmental documentaries to be voiced by white, male voices was given as an example of how the environment and the sector can feel inaccessible to people from ethnic minorities," The Institution of Environmental Sciences (IES) claimed in a Feb. 2022 study.
The study focused on "ethnic minority environmental professionals" in a "challenging environment."
The 44-page-long report also argued that "racially white, financially middle class" people dominated the environment sector.
The report used the word "white" 43 times and gave a strict definition for the word early in the study.
"English/Welsh/Scottish/Northern Irish/British, Irish, Gypsy or Irish Traveller, Roma, or any other White background" qualifies as white, according to the IES.

Perhaps they don’t realize how much TV in general folks don’t watch now for the opposite reason.
Ignorance can be cured with the infusion of knowledge, but stupid is forever!
I’ll bet the word ‘white’ wasn’t capitalized once also...
ARENT WE SUPPOSED TO DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM WATCHING TV?
Just when I thought things couldn’t get more “Black” oriented...like the commercials...
so they are worried it MAY discourage ‘minority’ viewers from watching TV but not if Whites are discouraged...
Need rappers doing the nature thing, cool.
I sure don’t remember the ads....cuz I’m not the target...and neither are blacks. It’s a big media backfire.
Yeah, that’s right.
They will listen to a black transgender female voice talking about cheetahs eating gazelles on the Serengeti................
That’s their problem then if they are that racist.
“white, male voices”
Voices are not white. Voices are not male.
There is no way to know reliably if the voice is that of a male, female, white, non-white. The author of the article is stupid.
In recent weeks we have learned that weight control, exercise, swimming, classical music and having the name Mike are racist. Now we learn that having white skin is racist.
What a huge load of nonsense.
Black males (and females), born in the UK, do NOT have southern US dialects - so how the hell would any listener know??
Interesting. There was a Hollywood awards show that started with a racist rant, so I’ll bet I wasn’t the only white not to watch.
Oh s*** son! That tiger be crazy as hell! Bit that n**** on his neck and sheit…
