Illegalize racial discrimination in job advertisement and hiring
Caucasians and other races have been overtly excluded or discouraged from applying in jobs & internships. Recruitment should be based on competence and skills, not skin colour
How can you not be allowed to apply for a job in your own country ? Diversity is good, but it should be peacefully promoted. Outright excluding/discouraging certain races from applying is wrong.
e.g:
- The BBC (Newsbeat): "This traineeship is only open to candidates from a BAME or lower socio-economic background" This excludes caucasians, and even if the poorer can, it is discouraging.
- The Cheshire police: a candidate has gotten rejected for being a white male. He fortunately won in court.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
It is already against the law (the Equality Act 2010) to discriminate against someone because of their race, so we're not sure what further action you'd like the Government or Parliament to take. You can find out more here:
