Is The North Face’s race quiz merited?

I READ Nana Akua’s article on The North Face’s ‘anti-racist’ quiz (Mail) and agree with all she says. As a frequent visitor to the West Country since childhood (I love walking holidays) and a 66-yearold mixed Black Caribbean and English woman, I can honestly say the people I have met there only ever showed me, and my Greek Cypriot husband, a warm welcome and a kindness I rarely find in ‘diverse and inclusive’ London, where we live. One or two have also become friends. On our last visit, the owner of a holiday home we stay at told us he was going snowboarding in the

Alps with ten male friends from the village. He is a charming man and just happens to be (you guessed it) Black British. I occasionally see black families enjoying the beaches and walks and, yes, people may occasionally stare but only because it is such a rare sight, not out of malice. I frequently recommend West Country holidays to my black friends and colleagues. They say they will try it but never go. However, if more black people visited the countryside and kept an open mind, I’m sure they would be pleasantly surprised.

THANK you, Nana Akua, for taking The North Face quiz ‘so I don’t have to’. I can’t afford their inflated prices to start with! The company’s strategy may backfire if customers get annoyed by it, give up and choose a rival brand instead. As usual, Nana’s is a voice of reason amid all the virtue-signallers.

s. J. HarDIng, rugby, Warks. THERE is a sinister aspect to attaching discounts to the answering of these sorts of questions ‘correctly’. If this spreads, the penalising of people, including ‘de-banking’ for refusing to bow to the Leftist agenda, will become accepted.
