To have said this?

[FactsAndFigurines]

I commented to some family that skiing isn't an ethnically diverse sport. Also said golf wasn't. I said something along the lines of "skiing isn't very diverse is it - you don't see many black skiers on the slopes".

I was told it was a "terrible comment"?! I'm not sure how or why? Isn't it just stating facts (albeit perhaps generalising grossly)?

Golf, camp

Not a camp for golfers, ha

Thesecondviola that article is great, I have heard that old trope of 'black people are better runner' 'naturally more athletic' as if black is just one big group and everyone is the same. You see it in football two, black players are far more likely to be described as 'strong' or 'athletic' then be considered as being a 'clever tricky player'. Once you open your ears to it, the commentary can be pretty offensive. You could use the same flawed idea to say men are naturally better at economics because the last x amount have won Nobel prizes. It's not that basic and it's pretty offensive.

Ugh, runners, too, excuse my horrible grammar.
