I'm doing graduate research related to multiculturalism in sport in the US.
I would like to ask individuals who represent various powerlifting organizations (e.g. ADFPF, USAPL, USPA, et cet) who have first hand statistical information about the demographic makeup of your organization. I realize that there are limitations to what you can provide (membership numbers male and female, age groupings). In addition to statistical demographics, I would like to get an idea of some non-quantifiable demographics (e.g. race, sexual identity, ability [parapelegic, autism spectrum, etc].
I personally think our sport seems to be a lot more diverse and inclusive than many others.
