I wonder what the racial and gender distribution of PH's member population is.
Does the current overall tone of debate scare minorities off, preventing them from raising their voices, marginalising them?
How is homophoby being deal with?
You've only been here 4 months so how do you define the current tone? How are people being prevented from raising their voices when it's a open, moderated forum?Does the current overall tone of debate scare minorities off, preventing them from raising their voices, marginalising them?

Can you point to the homophobia?
600+ posts in 4 months. You’ve got too much time on your hands.
There was a thread on here a few weeks ago where 2 openly gay guys were posting and other members were matchmaking, not sure that’s homophobic? Like all society there will be folk with differing views and opinions, frankly I’m amazed at the tolerance on here.
PS anyone can join and post what they like within the rules.

I think it's accepted but not actively promoted.Does the current overall tone of debate scare minorities off, preventing them from raising their voices, marginalising them?

Its a public forum anyone can join. If those individuals who celebrate diversity as their main focus want to join in then they can. Botoom line is that we are tribal by human nature so like the likeminded stock together. Thats why you find those champions of diversity shunning the likes of PH with their natural tribal instict leading them to join a 'protest' in London or something and wave a flag of something they are ignorant about all in the name of 'diversity'
Well, it is not my personal opinion or mission. But I can see that it is a matter of time until male/white/combustion engine-themed internet groups will be under attack.
The whole BLM movement has changed the debate. Look at the statues, at magazine's front pages.

Probably, but not in the eyes of the ones who are driving it.
I read that article about the director of a museum in San Francisco who was pushed into resigning from his post because he implied that "all" lives/artists matter.
If you look at PH's articles, I am sure some woke journo would take offence at many of them, simply because they dont assume the "modern" point of view.

The more that you identify and label people the more that you seperate them,
I had a neighbour for years who would always label people by their country or race, he would include that label with their name every time he spoke about them.
He was Sri Lankan, always played the victim, always a PITA.
Keep PH clean, no ones business but my own on my race, colour, faith, political persuasion, orientation or anything else.

Does the current overall tone of debate scare minorities off, preventing them from raising their voices, marginalising them? Hmmm, how would you describe said tone?
How is homophoby being deal with? Step one: identify which bandwagon you're going to jump on and learn its name!

Publicly available website with moderated content provided by the people who join PH.
Same as a supermarket - people who choose to enter are free to do so and leave as they wish.
Communities of interest will skew towards certain groups and that is inevitable. It has changed of course from the old Speed Matters days to speeding being frowned upon but the world evolves.
Not sure how inclusivity is relevant to member generated content.

BREAKING: PISTONHEADS IN "People who are interested in cars join a publically available forum where they can discuss their views with like minded individuals" Shocker.
if people are interested, they'll join - Colour, race, religion and sex is irrelevant. Quit trying to make non things a thing!
PH is waiting for a more diverse audience. I for one would welcome a few coach loads of female enthusiasts, just sayin'
