The way people are going on it's like white people are being squeezed out when they aren't. The best people are still being employed and always will be.


well "2 black guys" is represented for every 100 employees is about right
so you don't agree the best man/person gets the job
the point I am making the ad for the job is totally out of order
it would be totally out of order if it just asked for white people

I am the only non English Male here in my work environment (I am in Kent)
I got the job because I was the best person to fill the post (not because there wasn't any taffs working here...im the only one)
by your rational there should be more of us here
I have interviewed people for jobs here
gender, ethnicity , sexual persuasion have never been a factor in who I give the job too
im certainly not giving a job purely for tokenism
that would be unfair on the person who should get the job in the first place
surely it would
I think we are basically in complete agreement tbh. I think the problem is not everyone was as open as you when hiring people so quotas were brought in to try and give everyone a fair shot when that hasn't always happened.

The best person for the job should always be the one who gets it.
