I think that says more about you than me tbph. Can you explain what YOU think is wrong with it please?
I have posed reasonable questions in response to the issue being raised earlier in the thread. You appear to be looking for problems and attitudes that do NOT exist imho ![]() |

I have no issue with your comments whatsoever. It was more a comment on the reactions of some forum users to innocuous questions

I have been around dancing all my life from attending ballroom and latin comps whilst my parents danced as a child to teaching myself and running a large dance school. Have attended British Championships at Blackpool for over 50 years and in all that time can remember very few Black ballroom/latin dancers taking part Oti being one of them
Then again over the years have met and judged many terrific black dancers who were just not involved with ballroom and latin. Having a dance school in an inner city area - we have a large number of black dancers but very few of them take ballroom and latin as their dance form of choice or to compete in - tap, ballet, lyrical, Hip Hop and Freestyle being far more popular |

I once read there weren't many successful black swimmers. Is that swimming or the competitors problem (for want of a better word)?

I keep forgetting the couples there so many and I swear for half a second I saw her and Anthony in the highlights tonight and thought OMG some female pro has overdone it on the fake tan. Don’t stone me, she is gorgeous by the way.

I read an article once which said that, particularly in the US, many black kids never learn to swim.

I've only had one account here, and I don't know what the time frame has anything to do with it. My experience with a similar post happened in the past...what more is there to it?
As a discussion, I think Oti is fabulous as a proportion of black Latin and ballroom dancers has her presence skewed the figures so that she gives a false positive view of the number of black Latin and ballroom professional dancers? Are we going to talk about Karen here, her ethnicity is interesting, coming from Venuzuela with her colouring do we count her as white? So with Janette as well have they skewed the figures of Latin American professional ballroom dancers? Quite frankly I think that ethnicity has very little bearing on the show, in Oti I think they have found a fabulous dancer whether she is black white blue or polka dotted. |

IT wasn't a similar post at all, the problems with your post were explained to you many times,

The black professional dancer Oti is really good, it's so good to see black ballroom dancers. I look forward to seeing her dance each week now.

Even fewer black figure skaters (especially men). No-one is stopping them though.
