By selling to English only he was excluding not only people of colour but Welsh, Irish and Scots.
Under law I don't know if its illegal but it's certainly morally wrong.

it is indirect discrimination - putting rules or arrangements in place that apply to everyone, but that put someone with a protected characteristic at an unfair disadvantage

I'm sure it's wrong to specify who he's willing to sell to. A bit like running a B and B and publicly specifying that Blacks/Catholics/Jews...take your pick...are not welcome.

His car, his decision as to whom he desires to sell it and by restricting it to English buyers, he is reducing his chance of selling it, I would have thought.
Yes it is a bit insensitive i suppose, but most things are in "these days."

What would he have done if 'Andrew Williams' arranged to see the car and he turned out to be Hull born with Afro-Caribbean parents?

He was possibly frustrated by potential Asian buyers who do like to haggle more than most and offer insultingly low prices. I'm talking from experience.

Slight correction to the above. Asian descendants.

If that was the case, ZM - he could have advertised with 'absolutely no offers'.

When I buy a car I haggle and offer as low as I think I could get away with!
I wish I lived closer I would have gone along just to waste his miserable time!

Hc, indeed he could. I'm not defending the advert merely pointing out the possible reasoning behind it.

Confusing.

Isn't this xenophobia rather than racism?

Doesn't everyone, Islay? And knowing that, everyone puts their car on sale for a high price expecting to be haggled down.

Talbot, do you think the seller is frightened of everybody who isn't English?

Avatar Image Islay
Yes HC so I don't think colour or nationality should come into it!

Perhaps English people should be allowed to vote in Scottish referendums then?
