No, because he was a boy dog, and as well as discriminating along racial lines, they are also sexist.

Just for the record - about 50 people came to see the play yesterday, mostly young people. The audience was about half split between white and asian. Out of the 50, only 3 were boys.

Good turn out.

Still doesn't take away from the fact that the group Lancashire-wide Network for Ethnic Minority Women, who presented the performance, are openly discriminating against people racially.

Which is supposedly illegal, as well as being morally abhorrent.

You'll notice that I'm not actually arguing with you on this one Garinda.

All I'm doing is clarifying that the Arts Centre doesn't accept any discrimination and that as far as I'm concerned the show was open to everyone and anyone, and pointing out that as far as this event is concerned the Lancashire Wide Network for Ethnic Women didn't discriminate either.

I just thought you might be interested in the audience breakdown.

This means nothing. Why are some of the audience described by their colour and others by their continent of origin? Are there not any white asians?

This thread is about the group who presented the play, Lancashire-wide Network for Ethnic Minority Women.

An openly racist group, who happen to be part financially supported by the tax payer.

The last funding figures I can find are from 2006.

A year which saw them receive £44,200.00 from Lancashire County Council, and £3,290.00 from Hyndburn Borough Council.

Powered by Google Docs

This blatantly racist group are worse than the B.N.P., who have at least been forced by the courts to ensure their membership isn't restricted along lines of race, or ethnicity.

The racist material they are publishing breaks the law, under the Race Relations Act of 1976.

Why is the audience broken down by race at all?

Though you noticably haven't condemned them, for hosting events that are for 'black, and minority ethnic ladies only'.

It wasn't - I don't think anyone there considered it. It certainly wasn't counted or monitored in anyway. I was just attempting to demonstrate that there was no discrimination at the event. I foolishly thought you might be interested.

And there's no reason why I should or shouldn't condemn them on here - it's absolutely nothing to do with me what their policies are and how they operate. As long as there is no discrimination in the Arts Centre then I can't and won't comment on what they do elsewhere.

Fair enough.

Your prerogative.

Though I think by saying nothing, you are in fact saying quite a lot.
