Chief Constables in England and Wales are deciding whether they should fast-track black and Asian people into jobs in the police.

They say so-called "affirmative action" will make forces more representative but others say it's totally unfair.

At the moment, ethnic minorities make up 3.7% of police in England and Wales. The government's set a target of seven per cent by 2009.

Some comments people have made on the subject on the BBC website :

Quote:

This is already happening in the police!! My white friend recently applied to join GMP, he didn't get in even though he scored high enough in the tests! So, to meet the recruitment percentage targets set by the Home Office, they reduce the number of white officers, so the percentage of ethnic minorities officers recruits rises.

Quote:

Never heard such nonesense. This country is going bonkers. We taking the idea of minority groups to an extreme. Do we see other countries giving special treatment to different skin colours? People should get into the police because they work hard, are honest, reliable and have good morals. Not because they are in anyway physically different!

Quote:

I think positive discrimination is racist. Its not fair to be fast tracked because of you ethnic backround. The person most suited should get the job, whether they are in the ethnic minority or not. Its as simple as that.

Quote:

Im sorry but i believe this is totally unfair what is happening to this country! Everything these days is to do with racism and supporting black and ethnic minorities but the point is they are not minorities anymore white people are the smaller race. We cant do anything to offend any body any more but this is taking it too far! its just crazy

Quote:

No why should they be fast tracked just because of their skin colour? If they have the skills to get in the police force then they will and they should go through all the same protocol/procedure everybody else has to... ethnic minorities make up 3.7% of police?

They are the ones inciting the crimes rather than helping to stop them Look at the "black rapper gun" culture that is around at the moment

I have no idea why we bend over fucking backwards here for anyone who isn't white.

Your thoughts please ??

Hey that's great! You know, it's actually been proven that when you give people's jobs to immigrants they tend to like them more!

Fucking morons...

Scott McD · 04-19-2007, 05:32 AM

Yeah, it isn't very 'positive' for the white person who lost out on a job to someone because the colour of their skin is it ?!?!

I wonder what would happen if that was the other way around ? Hmmmm....

Ace_luffy · 04-19-2007, 05:33 AM

thanks for the info man..

I emigrated!

It is ridiculous... Seems you can't get the best people for the job any more! Will their mistakes be covered up too?

I got passed over many times in Vancouver for people in a minority. Every job I applied for said "prefer a woman or a person in a visible minority"

Meanwhile, one of the biggest minorities in Vancouver is the white male. So I figured they must have meant me, but no luck.

This is just starting to happen in England? Shit, this has been going on for decades in the USA.

Empress_JoinRightNow · 04-19-2007, 06:07 AM

I guess the minorities deserve to be prioritize because they are the under privilege

Yep

Its a joke. The person who is most qualified to do the job should get the job regardless of skin colour. Our country has been going down this route for a long time now and its only going to get worse.

You think it hasn't been the other way round in the past?

It just shouldn't be an issue, best person should get the job regardless of race

Sarah_Jayne · 04-19-2007, 06:45 AM

Dunno..generally not a fan of quotas, fast tracking, etc. However, we do need more police officers to get into those communities...particularly with language skills.
