So I joined a group of women on FB. To support each other during lockdown and generally have a chat and a nice time online. Ater a week or so the admin changed a photo of the group to one with 5 women holding hands, the pic was taken from back, so no faces. IT was a painting or so from 50's I think or could've been done in retro style. I pointed out that the picture was not inclusive as it was only showing white women and didn't have other women of colour or ethnic minorities. I got a lot of abuse back. Was I wrong? I am a bit shocked and disheartened that in 2021 I had to raise this and no one really was bothered and nearly all the women asked me to shut up and not talk about it

Evening, everyone.

There are a lot of posts on this thread that we think tip into racism, and also many that are simply personal attacks or break our talk guidelines in other ways.

We'd often delete a thread with this many problematic posts but that felt a bit unfair on the OP, so we'd really like to ask everyone to have a look at our guidelines and think carefully about what they're posting.

While we can see the OP has asked for opinions, so clearly welcomes views from both sides, we don't think it's ok to suggest that anyone who questions a lack of diversty 'needs more to do' and that sort of thing, or that these issues are too 'trivial' somehow to be discussed.

We'd really like to get the thread back on track if possible. Thanks. Flowers
