You didn't think it was possible? Well, it is. An advertisement for
a Press Internship withTransportLondonhas been advertised - but
only ethnic minorities are allowed to apply, and Whites are
specifically banned from the job.


It's not a job, it's a training opportunity. That's the only reason
it's allowed.


You seem to think that good race relations are those dictated by law.
It may be legal, but is it right?

Have you no moral code of your own? Apartheid was legal in South
Africa, does this mean it was OK?

European convention on Human Rights, Article 2, 14:

http://www.hri.org/docs/ECHR50.html

ARTICLE 2

No person shall be denied the right to education. In the exercise of
any functions which it assumes in relation to education and to
teaching, the State shall respect the right of parents to ensure such
education and teaching in conformity with their own religions and
philosophical convictions.

ARTICLE 14

The enjoyment of the rights and freedoms set forth in this Convention
shall be secured without discrimination on any ground such as sex,
race, colour, language, religion, political or other opinion, national
or social origin, association with a national minority, property,
birth or other status.

So the race relations act seems against this? Would love to read
about a test case....




If you don't like the Race Relations Act 1976, go and discuss it in
