Where's all the minorities?!

Thought just popped into my head. Is it me, or is there a distinct lack of non-white people on this?

Why would that be? The simple demographics of this region, or something more nuanced?

In my area (SE England) there are lots of ethnicities advertising if you do a local search? It might be a localised thing but certainly around here the site membership is very diverse

Nah, this site is full of those white people. What we should have to make it more identifiable when someone isn't white (especially if it's a woman) - some sort of massive banner so you know you can fetish the fuck out of them. Or maybe there aren't many and it's because they are too busy fucking other non whites.

Plenty of Asians on here, or at least I gather that from the number of couples profiles I've read loudly proclaiming that they don't want to meet them.

There are definitely fewer in Ireland. When I went to Belfast the first time I went to the rugby and I was the only person of colour there. So much so that I had people stop me in the street to tell me they'd seen me at the rugby.

Fab is mixed bag and a relatively small demographic.

There are only a few minorities on the forums and when a new one pops up, they are beaten down by sanctimonious white couples and men who don't ever realise they are doing it. For so long they have been speaking their truth, they think it's reality .... no one lasts long unless they understand how that works.

There are several reasons- demographics; regional; contrary to media bile the minorities haven't become a majority in the country yet, so simply not enough humans (the percentages are probably same as white); culture- not many have touched into the swinging side; different views on what is acceptable (comes under culture i guess); etc etc

"i re-jigged it a bit and came up with 44 black, lone, females. seems small to me"

According to the 2011 census, the ethnicity of black makes up less than 3% of the population, So if that would need 1400 non black lone females in the same search area. Note census figure not adjusted for gender or distribution pattern.

Years ago we did a non scientific study by numbers on here against area population and worked out swingers are less than 1% of the population...

my census figures are total population, but that is not relevant to the numbers, if there are significantly more than 1400 non black lone women on fab in your search area then you are right, the minority is not proportionately represented, but I suspect ethnicity has little to do with sexual preference, people are just people. Though culture may influence choices.

I won't say I have never noticed a racial comment being passed on the forums because that would be a lie. Generally though it doesn't happen and when it does it's usually some political thread of sorts.

Isn't it as simple as:

There aren't that many women on here;

Ethnic minorities are in the minority, thus there are even fewer women from ethnic minorities on here;

If you live in a predominantly white area, the people on fab in that area will also reflect that.

I agree ??

I think some people have a massive chip on their shoulder about ethnic and women's rights here when the vast majority of people (obviously excluding a very small number of bigots) have no negative feelings about either.

I really hope this gets stamped out before we end up like the states where there does seems to be some very strong racism

"I went to Liverpool with my daughter once, just for a few hours. After a while of walking around I turned to her and said "Where are all the black people?"

Are there not many non-white people in Liverpool, or was it just a quiet day?

There are plenty. Indigenous and student population.

It was a working day; the whole place seemed empty for a city.

Well I'm not there that often but I grew up there and there are plenty of "minorities" from all over the world.

Really? last time I was there only rooms available were £400 plus. City was full. It was a weekend though.

We went to pick up a passport. Maybe we were just in a quiet part. I live in Greater London and it's never that quiet.

Probably, plus if the passport office is still where I remember it is a quiet part of the city centre. "

Passport Office is in the business district on the strand so it will be quiet down there during the day - but Liverpool is a massive melting pot of almost every nationality, creed & colour you can think of. One of the white extremist groups turned up here to hold a white supremacy March & there was a massive crowd outside Lime St station who wouldn't let them out & pelted them with rotten fruit & eggs - the neo nazi's ended up hiding in lost property until the police could get them back on a train down south again!! Liverpool has a real mixed heritage going back generations due to its seafaring history & being a stopping point for the trading ships en route from Africa to America with both slaves & with other commodities & Scousers are very proud of the multi cultural diversity you find here. Everyone's welcome as long as they're not a knob head (even Man United fans!) x

You're suggesting the people who went from Britain to exploit other countries can only be of a certain race - at least I can only assume so by your 'that's the most racist comment' 'how can XXXX and XXXX' have relatives that were involved with that?

No I'm just wondering how that works with Fabio and blackspice or lickety and dolce vita"

wish i had read the whole thread now...didn't realise i had been dragged in....

so i am only going to speak for me....

there are two different issues going on here, 1) those who actively seek out specific minorities and 2) those minorities who play up the fact they are a minority to get meets....

the experience for me being a black person living in the north east is going to be different to that of a black person in london just because there are a lot lot less black people up here....

I think I am a lot lot more careful about who i meet now than i was at the beginning because I am a lot aware both of the surroundings and within my self.....in that I don't want to be a part of someone elses perceived fetish.... if i get that feeling i'll walk! but i am way different to others who won't walk because its a legover.....

"Actually I was being serious.

The suggestion that a general point needs to be made specific in such a way as to stipulate 'I didn't mean Bob's grandad' is beyond stupid.

You jumped in in the hope of scoring some forum macho points by arguing points that had no relevance. If you feel you've scored then good for you.

I still feel that's the most honest and sensible comment I've seen you make .

Who's fucking "we" is all I wanted know, you clearly used "we" for a purpose.

Did you mean to say the British government? British companies? .

In the context you were using we you clearly were referring to the reader, in this case me? That's the way I took it coz that's how wrote it.

Notice how I've managed to write several messages back to you with no derogatory comments, it's really easy if you try "

"We" was adequate given the comment also referenced the "Chinese" and very clearly not all the Chinese are in Africa just as very clearly not all the British were in Africa.

There was never a need to point either of these details out until you questioned it. Not to add to the debate in any way, but to nitpick like a vulture from the side.

You then made the claim that I had written the 'most racist' comment on here. A comment I felt was twattish.

I don't recall referencing your education (or lack of). It is you that suggested you may be twattish. I agreed.

"I went to Liverpool with my daughter once, just for a few hours. After a while of walking around I turned to her and said "Where are all the black people?"

Are there not many non-white people in Liverpool, or was it just a quiet day?

There are plenty. Indigenous and student population.

It was a working day; the whole place seemed empty for a city.

Well I'm not there that often but I grew up there and there are plenty of "minorities" from all over the world.

Really? last time I was there only rooms available were £400 plus. City was full. It was a weekend though.

We went to pick up a passport. Maybe we were just in a quiet part. I live in Greater London and it's never that quiet.

Probably, plus if the passport office is still where I remember it is a quiet part of the city centre.

Passport Office is in the business district on the strand so it will be quiet down there during the day - but Liverpool is a massive melting pot of almost every nationality, creed & colour you can think of. One of the white extremist groups turned up here to hold a white supremacy March & there was a massive crowd outside Lime St station who wouldn't let them out & pelted them with rotten fruit & eggs - the neo nazi's ended up hiding in lost property until the police could get them back on a train down south again!! Liverpool has a real mixed heritage going back generations due to its seafaring history & being a stopping point for the trading ships en route from Africa to America with both slaves & with other commodities & Scousers are very proud of the multi cultural diversity you find here. Everyone's welcome as long as they're not a knob head (even Man United fans!) x"

Errrrrmmm yep I'm 46 and born and bred in Liverpool. Thanks though

In answer to the colonial / slavery comments not widely known but a lot of African Chiefs and other heads of government in Africa were complicit in selling their fellow man into slavery. Just saying

Location plays a huge part. Particular ethnicities searched in London for example would most probably come up higher. Someone mentioned it earlier, whereby if you travel to another city you may not find/or see a particular ethnicity as much.

I remember when I came up for one of the socials up North somewhere. On my journey I had people looking at me as though they've never seen my 'kind' before. Makes you feel a bit uncomfortable but I guess not all cities are as big and densely mixed as London.

Not sure if that answers the question. There's a few other things as well I'd say but that may be a bit more subjective from my part.

Well you've backtracked out of what I asked you and attempted to backtrack out of your rudeness.

Look all I asked you at the beginning is who's "we" I agree your grandad was a pillager, what I disagree with is your claim of everybody who is British had a Grandad who pillaged, it's just bullshit of the highest order!.

It's a nonsensical statement which was my point to _lcc?.

"We" were there taking stuff.... Utter fucking claptrap

My experience is totally different. I find people "up north" and by that I mean Northern England and Scotland, really don't give a fuck what "ethnicity" you are as long as you are a decent person and treat others with respect. In contrast to yourself, I find southern England much more judgmental in terms of your "background" and by that I mean "ethnicity".

Do we really still think of people as 'minorities'? They're just 'people', surely?

I'll have to take a listen.

One of my favourite Stones tunes was "Tell Me" which was on the soundtrack of Scorceses 73 film "Mean Streets" which incidentally broached the subject of racism and relationships. Back on track

My grandad never pillaged africa, he worked for a brewery, joined the army and his ship got torpedo'd on route to africa, so he never got there. I would say most of the folks grandads on here never pillaged africa, but may have visited due to world war 2. People's great or great great grandads on the other hand, quite possibly.

In the earlier context:

We = British

Grandparent was reference to the period of time, not any individual

If you genuinely felt it was reference to your own grandad - actually I don't give a fuck.
