While I know this survey is biased, it’s people who watch Brulosophy content and answer surveys, but my own experience backs this up: https://brulosophy.com/2024/05/27/2024-general-homebrewer-survey-results/

My personal experience mirrors that as well. Everyone in my homebrew group is that. Everyone in surrounding groups (as seen in pictures of state-wide gatherings) is that. 95% of the people I see in homebrew shops are that.

Why?

    You are right this is no stupid questions and im sorry if I came out a bit judgmental or rude. That was not my intention.

    I just dont really understand why it matters and why people put so much emphasis about the (racial? Gender? Class?) composition of people in “X”. I just cant fathom going to a place and think boy I wish there were more X here. Is it an American thing?

      I can. I can’t learn from or have discussions with people who have literally the same life as me. That’s kinda boring.

      Is it an American thing?

      Yes. Diversity has been drilled into me my entire life. There are news articles and lawsuits about discrimination all the time. IDK about other countries, but, yeah, diversity is a huge thing in the USA.

      Nothing wrong with wanting more diversity. In fact that’s a good thing
