@issybird. Sensible and practical. That is the correct use of these types of stats. To flag possible problems. Always picking white Brit/Yank males would upset me for the simple reason that it would mean we were missing out on discussing so many other great books. Quite frankly I would be much happier to know nothing about an author's sex, ethnicity etc. until after reading the book concerned, except in those very few cases where it may arguably have some relevance. This being impossible in the real world I do try and I hope succeed in ignoring such things.
