06/26/2008: "White men could be blocked from jobs and promotions in UK affirmative action proposals"
WHITE men could be blocked from jobs and promotions under a so-called equality drive unveiled by Labour today.
Instead women and ethnic minorities will be favoured in the workplace under a new Bill to be revealed by Equalities Minister Harriet Harman.
Critics blasted the measure as an unworkable piece of political correctness that will see good candidates overlooked for jobs in the interests of positive discrimination.
[ This is not especially new since there already are quotas for various companies and institutions to ensure more ethnic minorities are hired. Of course this is completely outrageous and a job should go to the best qualified applicant. ]
