I've never inderstood this obsession with forcing the recruitment of minorities. If they want more non-white males to join the police then they should do something about trying to attract them - eg. promotions in schools...etc - instead of carrying out these racist selection processes. This sort of thing is happening everywhere and all's it does is provoke more racism.

First place I'd start is outlawing questions in application forms that ask what race/origin you are. This is one of my pet hates.

targets for hiring minorites is one of the crappest ideas ever... even if the applicants are utter shite (but happen to be a black lesbian midget) they stand a better chance of being hired than a well qualified white male.

fucking ridiculous

"Police are under pressure to meet the government target, set in 1999, that by 2009, 7% of police officers in England and Wales should be from ethnic minority groups."

One of the silly things about this is it's a blanket rule for all forces, when the % of ethnic minority varies from area to area... For example where I live ethnic minority < 1% - but the local police still have to find 7% from these people... Basically it means if you are from an ethnic minority you are all but garenteed a job with them...

PS this goes both ways tbh... Black people are known to have positive discrimination in the things they do... I remember a few years back where the girl band Eternal chucked out Louise because she was white, and unless they did that they where not eligible to win awards at the MOBO awards...

I don't get why people can't just grow the fuck up and look past fucking skin colour.

Race/Origin just should not come up in a job application, period.

I find the MOBO awards racist. Music of Black Origin? Wtf? Why differentiate between white origin and black origin instead of just celebrating it for what it is - music?

Thing is if we setup a MOWO awards, can you imagine the uproar it would cause... It's a one rule for us and one rule for them situation...

The other thing that pisses me off are black people that blame everything bad that ever happened to them on the fact that some time in history, probably 300 years ago, some people in there family were slaves etc… I have met a few like this in my time, get over it, shit things have happened to all human races at some time in the past, but they can’t let go… What some Jewish people have had to go through is much more recent than the whole slave trade thing, but is does not effect them even half as much…

I've never liked the MOBO's for the simple reason if anyone tried to make a MOWO's their would be a huge uproar about it.

Same thing with those gay olympics a bit back.
