So..........a yoga class is full of white chicks?
I’m shocked in all my chakras.

I hate to be all Pollyanna and all:
But, there is a pasty redheaded dude that works with me...he looks more LIKE me than DIFFERENT from me. So, I don't need to have "someone that looks like me"...because, well...he kinda does.
Maybe THAT is the "solution"?

Almost every gym class I have seen has the black male instructor, who is super cut and... I'm guessing here... took a whole bottle of speed right before training.

So basically she can’t find one black friend and/or family member who wants to be in shape?

Require gym membership to receive EBT.

I guess I am prejudiced and prone to stereotyping.
If someone were to ask me what a typical person in a yoga class looks like and puts a gun to my head, I’m gonna answer a 30 to 40 year old white chick driving a nice SUV.

it's every aspect of fitness ... yoga, spin class, gyms, the whole thing ... you live in a former 'hood and workout, you need to check your white AND fitness privilege ...

But Stanley, who has gained some fame with her criticisms of boutique workout and yoga culture's lack of diversity, describes the studios she has visited outside the big-city bubble as anything but diverse. She tackles the subject in her book "Every Body Yoga." The issue, she says, extends beyond race.
She's often the only fat woman in the room as well, she says. And if you're looking for a mature crowd, you'll have to keep looking, too: By the health club association's reckoning, the average age of studio exercisers is 30.
"The messaging," says Stanley, "is essentially: You're allowed in this space if you are white, slender, able-bodied and less than 45, cis-gender and heterosexual. And if you're not, then you're not welcome."
ain't never gonna stop ...

My dad's was Fats Domino. Now Fats was like 10 years older, but my dad was a big fan. So, we had some of the albums. I was sitting around at 6 or 7 years old looking at Fats - then looking at my dad, thinking WTF.
Good times.
Back to the OP - it should be neither racist nor unexpected to point out that some black folks are ridiculously stupid - and this lady is one of them.

I am an African American, upper income woman who has been both thin and slightly overweight. I've been the minority in most settings since age 10, so that alone wouldn't keep me from a boutique gym. What would and has is the bad attitude and treatment from staff and members. At best, I've been ignored; at worst, treated condescendingly.
