@great-king-rat saidSeems fair in a company that admits POC are underrepresented in their workforce.

@no1marauder saidI wonder why they dont do that with important professions like say doctors and research scientists.
From the article:
"Under the Equality Act 2010, positive discrimination is unlawful but "positive action" is allowed for trainee roles where there are gaps in representation."
"BBC director-general Tim Davie has previously spoken about the lack of diversity amongst the corporations top paid faces and has said he "has more work to do" to help resolve the gap.
Earl ...[text shortened]... ottom – represent the audiences we serve."
So this is "bad" ................................ how?
@no1marauder saidDo you what you want, idgaf.
Great retort.
Are we supposed to debate this or just nod our heads at your brilliance at copy/pasting a URL?
@rajk999 saidA "randomly chosen" doctor who completed eight years of medical schooling and at least three years of residency?
We have all kinds of doctors here
Chosen at random
@vivify saidSmart hospital administrators choose the best they can get their hands on. They do not ban anyone from applying, and the criteria has nothing to do with race , like in the case of the BBC here. The BBC dont really care because these positions are not critical and hiring a few more people just to appease the stupid masses makes no difference to them. Critical positions are decided on with care.

Try again.
@rajk999 saidYes and we all know POC are too stupid to be doctors.

@no1marauder saidNot all, just most.

@great-king-rat saidThe BBC recognizes that its past hiring practices did just that (whether intentionally or because of deep rooted racial stereotypes is irrelevant to the result) and has now taken remedial measures.
@no1marauder
Because it discriminates against those who were born differently.
