“…The significance of these processes of racialisation and associated behaviours is such that it is imperative that steps are taken to continue to fill the gaps in an under-researched part of tourism, leisure and events. Hylton and Chakrabarty's (2011) special issue in this journal on 'race' and culture signalled the challenges and potential depth of research necessary on this topic.…”

“…As discussed above, engaging BME groups is only one of several challenges they are expected to address and it is rarely the one most important to the funding partners who, while perhaps it should not be the case, continue to judge success largely on overall participation figures and the competitive success of teams/individuals. However, the value of participation statistics is limited, as they are unable to provide insight into the experiences of those individuals (Hylton & Chakrabarty, 2011). Thus, it is important to shift the emphasis from judging the success of interventions purely by attendance, which is a necessary condition, to judging success by the quality of experience and outcomes (Rowe, 2015(Rowe, , 2017.…”

In this paper we draw on research conducted in Wales to consider reasons for participation and non-participation in sport and physical activity among Black and minoritised ethnic (BME) groups. This study exposes the challenge at the heart of sports policy in relation to 'race' and ethnicity in Wales that, if not addressed, may lead to the marginalisation of attempts to increase BME participation in sport and physical activity despite good intent. It points to a disjuncture between supply and demand and leads us to question the extent to which such policies resonate with the interests, needs and lived experiences of people from different BME communities in Wales. We draw on testimonies of policy-makers and implementers, as well as individuals from various BME communities in five regions of Wales, to consider the extent to which national sports policy encourages strategies to increase participation among different ethnic groups. We suggest that increasing participation among BME communities and other 'hard-to-reach' groups must go beyond accounting for the supply aspects of sport and physical activity to consider more critically the plethora of barriers and exclusions facing many BME communities. We conclude by arguing that for racial inequalities to be reduced, and promises such as 'sport for all' to be realised, then the analysis of policy needs to be related to broader relations of power in the culture of both sport and society.
