Or perhaps the staffing at the centre, which make people think it's not inclusive of all residents?

Scaitcliffe Community Centre
The only people bringing the term BME to the table are those who feel that they are being discriminated against somehow. The same argument could be levelled at Scaitcliffe House, staffed predominantly by caucasians although it doesn't seem to stop residents of all creeds coming to the building.

I also note that the well-known BME resident Doreen Pollitt is Chair of the Scaitcliffe Centre.
