maybe there are actual coloured people in Driffield who looked for people like themselves, then realised they were missing?

Did no non-whites work through the pandemic?

[Hopkirk]

Perhaps they have a valid point.

[Mamyalynne]

Only Driffield knows if they have any shop owners who should be there that aren't.

[wolf63]

There are no fat people either. I'm going to have to move to Driffield so that I can complain.

It may be that this is a town where there are not many non-whites. I would say that 90%+ would be white in my Fair City.

They remembered to include a ginger ... not sure what category that fits into.

There are more people now who go out of there way to find examples of u der representation it it works both ways as we've had posters on here who counted non white faces on adverts sports presenters saying there overrepresrnted

[bobbinwales]

No obvious transgenders either

"The town council said the panel depicted images of "well-known personalities" who work in or own shops in the town centre and was intended as a tribute to those businesses." So be it, if there are no BAME people who fit that category. As for the for the black football player/boxer: he is not a local business.

[ladybirder]

Exactly sanmac.

They're whiny and crappy.

[david small]

The perpetually offended are consistently offensive.

[ToraToraTora]

"What's wrong with these whiny crappy people? " - they are whiny crappy people!

[ToraToraTora]

naomi, snap, should have read the thread first!

[naomi24]

I call them Dementors. Their purpose in life seems to be to remove all vestiges of joy from it. Miserable, sour bunch.

bob- //No obvious transgenders either//

What's an obvious transgender? Bearded lady?

[lady-janine]

What is the problem? The only non-white people in our local town are running a chinese restaurant and 2 indian restaurants and they have been firmly closed from the first shut down. Other shops, etc., providing services but not them so they could not be represented either.

Please let us keep a sense of proportion. Driffield did say those who have provided services throughout.

Surely it is up to the people of Driffield to point out any anomalies.

and sos they are, lady-j
