Or are you the type to see a problem that needs to be remedied?

Craft beer drinking is, so I’ve noticed, one of the whitest activities in which I participate. I don’t see this as a problem though because I don’t think it is necessary to have proportional representation of all the different kinds of people there are at every event I attend.
