You seem to be mostly referring to cultural backlash against colonial intrusion (though Thailand largely resisted) . I had some similar experiences backpacking in some remote parts of Hawaii, where apparently tourists aren't supposed to go. No one's going to call you a racist for talking about that. Racism begets racism - go figure. It'd be nice if those who lost the colonial battles would just "let it go" and get on with life. But sometimes they don't. Though in this thread you do seem to have a hard time acknowledging that UCI-sanctioned pro cycling is lily white. Even if there are sub cultures of cycling in some places.

The topic of this thread is "Cycling" not pro cycling just as the diversity thread was about "Triathlon" and not pro triathlon. Cycling at the very highest level of the UCI is largely white,nobody is doubting that but the entire UCI racing series around the world isn't. As I pointed out the Olympic cycling program is well represented by non white nations so when we look at those two situations we can assume that if there are lots of non white cycling nations in the Olympics and not the UCI Pro Tour then the non white cycling nations haven't reached a talent level to have them compete at the very highest level of cycling competition. I gave a reason for that in my very first post on this thread.
