Not that Mr Khan is racist!

I think his point was that, relative to the numbers of minorities, the
numbers working on public transport are small.


Wasn't he just referring to the make up of the TfL board?


Yes he was. He said that there are 16 seats on the board and 13 of them are
men. He said that having only three women was bad because it did not reflect
the customers' sexual makeup.


Hospital patients are 50/50 men and women but I haven't heard anyone from the
left making a fuss about the small proportion of male nurses or healthcare
assistants.
