Positive discrimination has been around for years. In the early 1990's BBC Pebble Mill advertised opportunities for people without previous experience to train as film crew, provided the applicants were from ethnic minority groups. I phoned and asked when the courses for white people were taking place and was told that there were none planned because management didn't have enough black employees. I wonder how that makes black employees feel in terms of self esteem? Does one end up in the situation where you are forever questioning whether you are valued for your contribution to the team or there because your presence in the workplace is somehow just necessary? Furthermore, when an organisation hires solely on the basis of colour/ethnicity to hit a target, does that organisation continue that target in the more valuable roles or are those new employees already doomed to remain out of management and be grateful for what they've got?

In 2008 I was unable to apply for a studentship that was linked to a role in a government agency in a niche field because I was not an ethnic minority. I was told by the Commission for Racial Equality at the time that it was legal to discriminate because it was education and they were not overtly offering a job at the end of it (In reality it would be pretty certain that the studentship would lead to a job in that agency). I never saw an opportunity like that again in that field for someone of any ethnicity.

[@manchegocheese997]

The EA recruitment criteria is entirely discrimatory. No organisation should be allowed to discriminate for/ against anyone based on skin colour or ethnic background, it is the very definition of racism.

[@ianross04]

And of course they will blame 'what we inherited from the Tories'. It will always be their default excuse

[@elkpaz560]

The Tories were a slightly slower route to the same end - undoing Britain.

[@Gary85Paul]

In terms of discrimination, I applied for a job in a London borough. I put in two applications - one from 'normal' me (I'm a professional with significant experience) and another from a woman with a foreign name. The woman's application was actually less qualified than my own (fewer years' experience and a lesser qualification). Guess which one got an interview... I can't get through the door for jobs now. Let alone get the jobs.

The worst of this is: our population is growing so fast - 0.8% per year - that, even if GDP is steady, our GDP per capita (I've no idea why this is not used more often than simple GDP) could already have dropped into 'recession'..... It doesn't help that the vast majority of new arrivals don't have English language, have had poor schooling, know that benefits are available and have no love for their new country.

I do remember when Kenneth Livingston complained ( or at least queried ) about the scarcity of White British serving his office. I think this was back in the 80s. However i do remember Kenneth cutting the cost of a tube travel (within a certain distance) to 20 pence. As a poor student i welcomed this bold move. Since i was abiding in Camden Town and my pal was living in Clapham Common this reduction in tube fare was a Godsend.

Going on your theory that this job advert may be lawful on the grounds that they are fullfilling their diversity obligations - can you imagine the outcry if a company had more than enough workers meeting this criteria and then advertised a job with the first requirement being that the applicant be from a pale skinned race.
