A less than satisfactory state of affairs as reported.
"Legal experts said because anyone could theoretically apply for one of the posts through the police website, the force could claim it had not broken the law.
A police spokesman said: ‘Less than half of those who submitted applications were from this supported group.’"
Weasel words if ever they were uttered.

Yeah you can invite whomever you like to apply for a job.
and you can discriminate in what ever way you like so long as it is not unlawful
and so for example - if you want an urdu-interpreter you can stipulate suprise surprise that ability to speak Urdu is a requirement
and someone who is white and only speaks Czech can complain, but is likely to be unsuccesful.

Really tempted to say something rude in response to you, but it won't, because I can tell when I'm being bated.
No, I am lucky enough to be in an industry where very definite skills are required. I left school with a shedload of O and A levels which meant that unlike some of my classmates, I was able to get myself into a well paid job and forge a career in IT (which was the place to be in the late 80s / early 90s).

Thank you for asking that question without any snide inference.
It's really difficult to answer, because I've never applied for a position that I didn't think I could handle.
Every job I've taken has been stretching and there has been an element of fear before starting, but that's how it should be (IMO) - because every job I've had has been a new learning experience.
But back to your question...if (hypothetically) I had been 'given a chance', I wouldn't actually feel insulted. I would do what anyone else would do - show that no matter what got me the job, I would prove that I merited it.
It's a bit like what women have had to do in the past...they've had to be better than their male counterparts, simply because of that 'What did SHE have to do to get the job' attitude that some men carry around with them.
