‘It’s really affecting me that I walk in and all I see is white people,’ the Radio 5 presenter told a diversity conference

BBC Radio 5 Live presenter Nihal Arthanayake has said an “overwhelmingly white” working environment is affecting his mental health.

The presenter told a journalism diversity conference on Wednesday: “It’s really affecting me that I walk in and all I see is white people.”

His colleagues responded defensively, he claimed, saying that they were not being racist, which he said was missing the point.
