I think you did, whether you intended to or not.

YMB obviously doesn't get 'it'. Whites are the majority and majority control everything. There's no need to set up a 'whites only' organisation.

Could it possibly be Groundhog day?

In the entertainment business they are not.

//Are they not just intern positions? //

Position, singular.

//Not real contracts, just opportunities to see what happens for a limited time.//

I only started hearing this term "internship", with regard to the UK jobs market less than ten years ago. Prior to that, I only heard it in the phrase "White House intern", as in Miss Lewinsky or as an alternative to "White House aide", ie it only ever cropped up in newscasts and I never bothered to investigate any deeper meaning.

I saw a documentary a while back which discussed the abuse of internships in the case of jobs where the eventual post is very highly paid. Interns work unwaged for up to a year so, in effect, all spotty oiks are screened out and only toffs need apply.

That is an example of the establishment at work.

Read any job advert and look at all the hurdles put in place which you will only get over if you're an insider and have accumulated the required experience already. The long-term unemployed have no point of entry to any well paid job with which they can hope to "catch up" with people the same age as them who have always been in work.

Zacs-Master, In answer to your question “why do you think such an organisation as Creative Access, which has quite a few white Directors and trustees, exists?”, I replied , “To promote diversity?” That reply in no way indicates 'proof' of their need to exist.

Lol, I was having a larf, aog.
Although, I bet the people who support these number games wouldn't be so keen on a 3% limit being placed on gay entertainers. (quite right too)

Ironic or not - how can you tell?

[Old_Geezer]

I think fit young women are under-represented. And so are old geezers. I know society is full of both.

They haven't worked this out yet but the "they're taking all our jobs" brigade could adopt a new approach to their argument, which is this: -

as more non-European migrants arrive, organisations will continue to fail to achieve their ethnic diversity targets, because the proportions in the recruitment pool are being enriched with non-white ethnicities. Therefore more and more vacancies will have to be barred to whites, so as to meet e

..so as to meet equality targets.

The new arrivals will always be at the head of the queue for the most recent appointments, so long as their are quotas to be filled.

Black people definitely over represented, but professional whiners like Lenny Henry know that, so when he wants to be heard he switches to BAME are under represented.
I haven't noticed any special relationship between Black and Asian people (quite the opposite) So why lump them together?

Asians do look under represented but perhaps that is by choice?

Depending on how far you want to go with the old 'ethnic' business ... gypsy's are also over represented.
