[QUOTE="EqualityNonNegotiable, post: 170225, member: 31762"] I highly doubt that by 'vast majority' the OP meant 50-80% as you quoted here. I could be mistaken but I believe the OP would not have had an issue with at least 8 BME applicants in the cohort of 40 (which would fit within the example you provided above). The idea that people have an issue where proportionate representation is commonplace sounds like an absurd right-wing fantasy backed by anectodal evidence at best. You have not provided any evidence of these supposed unreasonable demands other than 'there seem to be people unhappy with this'. I will not engage in this conversation any further as you have confirmed your highly prejudicial and bigotted view that people of ethnic minority backgrounds should be represented in criminal law but not necessarily in white collar jobs. You seem to be implying that people from etnic minority backgrounds commit crimes, therefore should be represented in criminal law but do not hold white collar jobs therefore don't require representation there. In other words, corporate world belongs to the White people and we should keep it that way. It's laughable really and explains the reaction to your original post. Perhaps when everyone says you're drunk it may be time to sit down. [/QUOTE]
