Man Is Furious That “Miss Scotland” Isn’t Diverse Enough, Gets A Lesson In Demographics

A man who complained about the lack of diversity in Miss Scotland 2019 became the target of ridicule himself after his tweet went viral.

Iain Robertson from Glasgow took a shot at the racial makeup of the contestants by sharing a photo of them with a caption that read, “Delighted to see such a diverse lineup for Miss Scotland this year.” Yes, his post has accumulated over 4.6K likes. However, it has also received more than 6.2K comments, many of which criticize Iain’s interpretation of the picture.

People were unhappy that Robertson started throwing accusations without considering Scottish demographics. According to them, racism isn’t to blame for the lack of “diversity” in the Miss Scotland photo.

Scotland’s Census 2011, the most recent official study of the country’s demographics, said that 84% of Scotland’s population reported their ethnicity as ‘White: Scottish’ and a further 8% as ‘White: Other British’. Together, minority ethnic groups and white non-British groups (which include ‘White: Irish’, ‘White: Polish’, ‘White: Gypsy/ Traveller’ and ‘White: Other White’) made up 8% of the total population.

The Asian population was the largest minority ethnic group (3% of the population or 141,000 people), while the African, Caribbean or Black groups made up 1% of the population.

However, he soon became the target of ridicule himself
