‘White, male’ narrators on nature shows may discourage ‘minority’ viewers from watching TV

‘White, male’ narrators on nature shows may discourage ‘minority’ viewers from watching TV
The Environment Agency — Britain’s version of the EPA — funded research that concluded that white, male narrators on nature programs could make minorities feel excluded.
"The tendency for environmental documentaries to be voiced by white, male voices was given as an example of how the environment and the sector can feel inaccessible to people from ethnic minorities," The Institution of Environmental Sciences (IES) claimed in a Feb. 2022 study.
The study focused on "ethnic minority environmental professionals" in a "challenging environment."
The 44-page-long report also argued that "racially white, financially middle class" people dominated the environment sector.
The report used the word "white" 43 times and gave a strict definition for the word early in the study.
"English/Welsh/Scottish/Northern Irish/British, Irish, Gypsy or Irish Traveller, Roma, or any other White background" qualifies as white, according to the IES.

Could.
But actually doesn't.

That honey badger video probably got more views than anything Attenborough ever did. They may be right.

The vast majority of 'minorities' could care less about 'Nature'. Other than to escape its burdensome demands. In Nature, there is no sympathy for being a 'minority'/ weaker entity, only punishment. Leaving God-based Morality/Religion off the table.
The very term "minority" comes from Secular 'Religion'/Egalitarian Ideology. Along with grievance principle and particular set of 'Equity Rights'.
Pretty interesting philosophical scenario.

Youtube is full of black people reacting to things. It's funny how enamored white people are with generic black person overacting.

So, they are saying they can tell if a narrator is white or black from their speech?
How RaCiSt!!!

Enunciation is racist.

I've never once thought about what race the narrator was in the, many, nature documentaries I watch.
"Gypsy." Interesting to see that a pejorative term against a white person is ok with the IES

I thought Morgan Freedman and the clown Neal DeGrass Tyson had done a lot of these.
I actually stopped watching a lot because it seemed like they must be mandated or paid to slip some comment about "evolution" in regardless of whether it fit the story or made sense. That was the first trial of "product/agenda placement" before the mandatory lgbtq and grooming stuff.

I believe the intent with the recent spate of “everything is racist” reporting is to have white guys withdraw completely from western civilization. And within 5 years I’ll comply and watch things circle the drain from somewhere in the woods.
Good luck with your 3rd world warlord-run regions, with contaminated water, impassable roads, and eventually no electricity. Like Jackson, MS, but everywhere.

Watching England at this point is like watching someone slash their own throat.

Proper English and math are racist.
Hell. Time is racist according to some black fat bitch that did a Ted Talk.

White Liberals are so fking racist.
We've seen time and again people on this very board who claim to be enlightened let slip those little clues about how they see minorities as lesser beings.
This is just another example.

Wouldn't that make the "minority" viewers the racists?
