I applied to work in an Indian restaurant and was told they wouldn't employ me because I wasn't Indian. I told them that that's discrimination and against the law but the loop hole they used was that their business operates on the ethos of offering "an authentic experience for customers".

[@samanthahardy9903]

@@Jay-vs4fi I can understand their point. However, if a restaurant which sold only English cuisine and refused to hire an Indian person to work there under the "authentic experience for customers" the employers would be accused of racism. It seems that it's two tier just like the police. Either way it's still discrimination. People should be judged on the content of their character & experience & not on their ethnic background.

[@alberttatlock1541]

Whats wrong with disabled people working? Lots of them do it, and they are not "forced" they desperately want to. Businesses are legally obliged to make arrangements for disabled to be accommodated. Disabled people compete in olympics, so why cant they work in an office or a factory? Many disabled people (and charities representing them) complain that they are not given the opportunity to work. No one is talking about forcing blind people with no arms or legs to go down a coal mine and start hacking at coal seams.
