Cool, I'd forgotten that, you've mentioned it before. My brother is married to a racial minority(technically, but really the planet is crawling with them) as well. Being non-racist this puts me in an awkward position.

The invitation to ride is based on religion. I expressed my discomfort with that.
Canadian human rights act: blah, blah, blah, ... without being hindered in or prevented from doing so by discriminatory practices based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, family status, disability or conviction for an offence for which a pardon has been granted or in respect of which a record suspension has been ordered.
just saying that this is different than organizing a ride based on newbie, hooligan, small displacement, back in the game, etc. rides. Just seems weird to me, and I'm happy that we can talk about it. I promise I won't lose any sleep over this because as I've said before, I prefer to ride alone.

I understand your statement, but not your discomfort.
Unless you feel that they are in some way harming you or your way of life by inviting people of similar religious beliefs to ride together. Is that how you feel? And if so, could you please elaborate.

So you also have a problem with people seeking riders of similar age?
Those invitations are based on a commonality between individuals which is not meant to be offensive. What about Richmond Hill group rides or women group rides. Only if they say you can't come because you aren't x or y then it becomes offensive.

Would you agree that just because your uncomfortable with it doesn't make it wrong? I know someone afraid of mice.
Major network television is, and has been for decades, effectively WET. This has only begun to change recently, but in a very small way.
Certainly. I'm not even trying to change anyone's mind about it. I'm just opening a discussion because of my discomfort with it.

I am a minority....I ride a motorcycle.
Not sure if you added this after or I missed it but no matter. If that is the basis of your discomfort that's fine, though I doubt if you insisted on attending they would stop you, so referencing the Human Rights Act is a slight stretch for me, but again no matter. I'm moving on.
Me too, and on that we can leave this in agreement

Ok, I realized you never said it was wrong, I just find the discomfort irrational but respect your right to feel that way.

Anyways boys...ride safe. And in the greater scheme of things we have more in common than not.
