Even one where I suggested that it could be justified that white people could be recruited using Positive Action, if they came from a disadvantaged group, as per the Equality Act 2010.  Frankly, it's getting boring now. So, can you answer two very simple questions for me, with Yes or No.  1. Is my scenario legal. 2. Do you think it is morally ok.

Especially when you can't appear to grasp that equality doesn't advantage those that have the disadvantage.  Further information can be found below to help clear up any confusion you might have.  https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/85046/positive-action-recruitment.pdf The confusion lies in the term 'equallity' we're not debating equallity, we're debating  'tokenism' to be precise.

I know you're not a lawyer, but you've told us time and again PA is legal, so you must have an inkling what is and isn't legal about it. You've also posted links to websites and documents about it. Presumably you read them?? So, let's make it a bit easier for your Yes / No answers:  1. From what you know, do you think that scenario is legal. 2. Do you personally feel comfortable with that scenario.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It's your terminology that's at fault. You keep calling it 'equallity' when it's actually 'tokenism'. Maybe you should check their definitive meanings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
