what do you DO [completely OT!!]

[Why aye Cabaye]

I had an interesting letter frm the police when I just left uni a few years ago... It said. " you have Passed the national standard for the application but unfortunately Northumbria police are only looking to recruit those of a diverse ethnic background"

As if this this is bad enough on the application for it actually says at the top of the page when you fill in personal details eg race, age, sex etc.. "this page will be detached from your application and will not form any part of the recruitment process" !

But is was a blessing in disguise really as have a much better job

It's ok to discriminate against White people. That's what it's turned into now as everyone is so eager to keep the minority groups happy. They shouldn't even ask your ethnic origin, it shouldn't come into it. They can find out at interview.

Riveting.

Balls I think.

And even then it shouldn't matter, **** 'positive' discrimination. If I was an ethnic minority in this country I would be insulted if I got the job just to make up the non-White British quota.

As long as someone got my (admittedly poor) attempt at a joke then I'm happy.

Are you for real?? If so that is disgusting. At least you found yourself a better job afterwards anyway

I study Economics and English literature in Bordeaux, while concentrating on languages such as Spanish and Chinese.
Fluent in French so thought it'd be appropriate to have a larger variety.
No idea what I want to do later on in life though :/

The exact same thing happened to my brother in law. They even went as far as saying he was the 'ideal candidate' for the job however he wasn't going to be accepted because they were looking to diversify through recruitment. Total garbage.

My eldest lad got exactly the same response when he was in Sheffield about 7 years ago. He wrote a letter back thanking them for their reply, however should he turn to a life of crime he'd be grateful if he was persued by those from a diverse ethnic background.

You mean he isn't taking after his old man yet?
