so because no black people have joined
we're a "whites only" club?

How many forums *anywhere* do you know with a black population?

*beats head against wall repeatedly*
okay. over the lifetime of b3ta, there have probaly been something like 1000 regular posters on b3ta. this is obviously a complete guess. i have probably met about, at a very rough guess, 5-600 of them. and seen photos of possibly twice as many again. they come from all walks of life - and all parts of the world. in this country, britain, they come from everywhere. i can't think of a major town or city without a b3tan in it.

and of all of those people, only one has been black (well, mixed race, to be literal). and he's one of the most regular posters on here. i don't think that moore is trying to make some sort of PC point here - just pointing out that it's singularly unrepresentative of any sort of modern society. and thinking it's odd. which it is.

Thank
you.

It's an issue about access to technology more than anything.

BAH!

b3ta isn't a parallel of society. It's more like a sub-culture, only a section of it
It's part of the much larger internet, which is far easier to compare to modern society, because of the multiple subcultures found within it.

We realise that, we accept that,
we're just asking why it is. It's not an accusation (I may have used some accusatory language earlier, which I won't edit for the sake of fairness), it's just pondering why this state of afairs exists.

I guess it's just human nature to group together with people similar to your self

this much is true.
but even the little corner of if little england in which i grew up, there were ethnic minorities all nearly all varieties. you get it even in the deepest darkest countryside nowadays.

i'm not suggesting that b3ta is a parallel of society - god help us all if it is - but it is, if you think about it, a peculiar statistic.

as moore said vvdown therevv somewhere, i too couldn't care less. it is just odd.
