This centre isn't
only for BME's, it is for
everyone, but it seems that not many people other than the BME's have used it.
As for the question...'would I feel welcome'........I suppose it isn't about feeling welcome, it is about getting help for a particular problem........and if the problem was pressing enough and I needed the help....then I would get over it....and getting to Hannah Street would not be insurmountable either.
The situation just feels a bit 'dog in a manger-ish'........we(the non ethnics) don't use it, but why should the money be spent on the ethnic community.
It is just how it appears to me...and you
know I will say it how I see it.
