This week's Caterer includes an article looking at whether the hospitality industry can boast true ethnic diversity. The article has drawn an interesting emailed response from one reader, who points to numerous
"exemplars of success" - among them Cyrus Todiwala, 3663's Andy Kemp and Ken Hom. The correspondent's fear is that "such articles can create the impression that minorities have chips on their shoulders – great news for the bigots ... I think our industry, more than almost any other doesn’t see people in terms of race, colour or sex. What we see in people is passion commitment and ability."
Do you agree or disagree with this assessment? Has race ever been a factor in your career? Let us know your thoughts on diversity in the industry.
