Positive Discrimination part 2
41 Answers
Following on from the thread in News, I find it incredible that people still discriminate on the grounds of colour, so my question is, are you colour prejudiced? I'm not talking about culture, religion, or ethnic descent - but simply colour, which, apparently, is what this latest government initiative basically applies to. Be honest - and if you would discriminate purely on the grounds of colour, can you explain your justification for that?

No.
The problem is idiots.
People should employ the best person for the job regardless of race, creed, colour or sexual orientation.
The trouble is how do you prove it?
If I won't employ blacks how would you get me to admit it?
I'd just say I did'nt think they were the best applicant because....
I remember years ago one of my supervisors said to me that "MTL did'nt like blacks or women" I never saw it that way at the time (MTL was one of the biggest employers in the city) but it is true there were no women drivers (well 1 kind of. and she did'nt last, but that was her choice though) but as for as ethinicity...
When I started they employed in my depot one Pakistani, one Indian, one Chinese and one black out of roughly 1000 people.
There were no other asians and only 2 other Chinese in the compan at the time, and none that I can recall after that.

Jamaicans I know cant stand the africans arriving here to work......
Sikhs dont get on with moslems.....generally speaking. They certainly abhor inter-marriage.
We could go on forever around the world but here in UK it would be fair to expect those who wish to work/live here adhere to our laws and try to abide our customs.

Since our immigration authorities are responsible as to who they allow into Britain they should put up a means test:ie
1. Do you accept British Law as it stands?
2. Can you live with British customs, ie mixed schools, english education, christian festivals etc
3. Work for a living and not rely on state benefits
4. Have one wife and not import a spouse.
5. Be loyal to UK, work for the country's benefit ?

Now sober and sentient (the miracles of coffee) I have to make a point about Terambulan's post.
1 "Accept British law as it satnds", we none of us accept British law as it stands, the law's are constantly being changed by Parliament to reflect the wishes of the people.
2 Mixed schools and Christian festivals, I know alot of people who don't like mixed schools (especially in Ulster) and one or two contributors here have no interest in Christian festivals.
3 Work for a living, don't get me started on that little pecadilloe.
4 Have one wife, what about divorcees? What about 4 kids 4 different fathers? What about getting married in the first place.
5 Be loyal to UK, loyal in what way? Support our sports teams? Support our foreign policies? What about emigrants who take all their home grown money with them, what price loyalty?
