      No its fine. We are only white guys we don't need jobs. I find the whole inclusiveness debate extremely disgusting. The way its focused is on we must get more LGBQ or whatever into our workplace what they actually normal need not apply...

      I agree that we are imbalanced now but there should never be a position where a job is not open to you because of your age, sex or race. The best person should always get the role if we need to do something to get the other candidates up to scratch thats a different matter and one we need to address sooner rather than later. But discrimination positive or otherwise is illegal.

        Where I work it is like a box ticking exercise.

        Got some black people - tick

        How about a Lesbian - tick

        Maybe a disabled person - yup one of those also

        Anyone been employed who actually has the skills for the job - maybe - but it wasn't the focus of the recruitment.

            Only if they are gay and have a leg missing...

            The worst part of that advert is the divisiveness it causes by openly pitching race in society. When we talk about inclusiveness we need to be inclusive not replace one cozy little club with the next one.

                Personally I think it is racist and should be reported.
                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  There's probably a similar job being advertised by the BBC, paying a lot more but with the condition that This internship is only open to candidates from a white background.
