I loved you videos promoting Point to Pointing however, I was desperately saddened not to see a single ethnic minority person in the video. I do not think a sport can legitimately claim it is open to everyone, when your videos promoting that sport so obviously omits all persons of colour. Please consider this comment a complaint.
First of all it is not our video, as stated clearly in the post. Secondly, I fear that these videos are broadly representative of the meetings at which they were filmed and in no way were minorities omitted.
If you wish to complain I suggest the makers of the video would be a good starting point.
