We can flip this on its head and say "Non-white people should be encouraged to do things they don't want to do".<br /><br />(Also, when we were in the Lake District a couple of years ago, there were plenty of visitors of Indian descent who were happily doing the same stuff as everybody else, so I don't see a problem anyway).Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-1575998735010399852019-12-31T14:44:10.079+00:002019-12-31T14:44:10.079+00:00What's behind the "Lake District is hideo...What's behind the "Lake District is hideously white" complaint, is that the advocates of multi-culturalism just CAN'T BEAR IT if there is somewhere that hasn't been culturally enriched. <br /><br />It's similar to the way in which Muslims are upset about any area of the World which has not been Islamised, or Stalinist communists couldn't abide the idea that there were parts of the globe which still had not, at the end of Stalin's reign, been Stalinised.

"are too heavily weighted towards older, able-bodied white people."<br /><br />Oh, FFS! a holiday area that attracts people to walk in rugged countryside is "too heavily weighted towards..able-bodied..people"?

It's what they did with their parents as kids, so they carry on doing it."<br /><br />In my case, exactly not. Our parents pitched a tent in a field (with permission of farmer I hasten to add) for three weeks and dragged us up and down mountains every day. So when we took our kids last year, we stayed in a static caravan and didn't set foot on the fells, we just did the nice stuff that my spiteful parents wouldn't let us do (boat rides and all that stuff).Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-23285448192840482542019-12-29T15:53:14.528+00:002019-12-29T15:53:14.528+00:00They are mental.

We went to the Lake District for a few days, went on a steam train, a boat ride, strolled through Keswick, went to the car museum etc. <br /><br />There was no walking or hiking involved, it's just usual touristy stuff (with lovely little mountains and lakes as a back drop).Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.com
