Discrimination of any kind is bad BUT if I were running an organization where a lot of clients were ethnic minorities I would want some staff reflecting the clients diversity. Mainly because it makes the clients more comfortable, comfortable clients equals more business.

"Alternative truth" perhaps??

Peasblossom Fri 05-Mar-21 10:39:23

It’s Daily Mail kind of truth?

Ilovecheese Fri 05-Mar-21 10:38:41

So this is not true

A job was advertised at a private school twenty five years ago. I applied for an interview I was told the vacancy was for ethnic minorities only. Blatant absolute discrimination there is no other to put it.

Shall we play a game? Let's guess which newspaper has made this story up.

It’s in the Fail. Apparently they asked for people from minorities to register their interest in working for GCHQ. Jobs were open to all applicants. So it’s not true and perfectly legal.

So is this true or not?

Peasblossom Fri 05-Mar-21 10:19:09

Have you got a link or more info espee?

I’ve just googled GCHQ jobs and can’t find this on any of them?

Aveline Fri 05-Mar-21 10:18:25

No from me!

Galaxy Fri 05-Mar-21 10:17:18

No they are not. It's a registration of interest. The job will be advertised to all.

Pantglas2 Fri 05-Mar-21 10:17:09

Another no.

Lexisgranny Fri 05-Mar-21 10:16:55

No, this is discrimination.

Anniebach Fri 05-Mar-21 10:16:04

No

Grannybags Fri 05-Mar-21 10:14:53

No definitely not

Smileless2012 Fri 05-Mar-21 10:06:49

No it's 'positive discrimination' and all discrimination is wrong.

grandmajet Fri 05-Mar-21 10:05:37

No

GCHQ are advertising jobs for ethnic minority background or women only.
Should this be allowed?
