The point is many are "up to the job" but get overlooked


Thought we were talking about racism, why bring Everton's route one tactic into it.<whistle>

Who is up to the job but get overlooked? If you can assert something without evidence....I will dismiss it just as easily<ok>

I don't need to provide any evidence mate, there are obviously non white people that are capable of doing any job you'd like to name.

Unless of course you think non white people are not as educated as white people or don't have the same capacity to learn, that's a dangerous path to take tbh.

I said not hing of the sort fella<laugh>

He was questioning what you think, not what you said and tbh you're coming at this topic in a strange way.

What I think is that there are other people who are more suitable for the jobs he has mentioned. There are many non whites/non brit nationals in very powerful posts in the UK. But when someone see's a chance to have a dig at the establishment they always will<ok>


Or first black head of the Church of England, first black police commissioner, first black BBC CEO.
The British establishment is very stubborn.

You can't assert that belief and want credibility, and then say what you said to Page!

But it is true, he went straight to have a pop at the 'establishment'

I gave a very prominent example of a non white woman (**edit who was in **edit) in one of the most powerful roles in the UK

Why is it a 'pop' ?? we're all adults here having a reasoned discussion. If you go to the top jobs in a society like Page did, it's a good indication of how far that society is progressing in terms of equal opportunity.
 
There are undoubtedly people in high ranking positions and therefore positions of power and influence who hold racist opinions, this is inevitable given the age profile of many of them. As they wash out of the system then the rate of change in terms of equal opportunity at the upper echelons will improve

Sorry for using the incorrect terminology. As highlighted once earleier I have given a fine example of people getting the top jobs who are in the so called 'minority'

Careful tobes, he'll ask you to name and shame them..<whistle>
 
Well I am sure you have these stats to hand, that they breakdown location and degree type and area they looked for a role/if they got a role in the chosen area of study<ok>
Yes they're all available - go and have a look.
