I also recently saw a job advertised for Christians only (not a live in position) so it looks like there is still plenty of discrimination of all sorts about the place.
You can discriminate in jobs if there is an objective justification for the discrimination.
So, for example, M & S can advertise a bra-fitter job vacancy, an specify "women only".
Or a Church can specify on Christians for vicar jobs....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

The man could be a perfect bra-fitter, hence they have a bigger hands :rotfl:0 -

Ok then, how about when employers have so called ethnic awareness days, where women and members of ethnic minorities are given training days to make them aware of what the job consists of?
White males aren't invited to these days.
They call this positive discrimination, but I feel that any discrimination is wrong, and that everyone should be judged on their own merits, regardles of sex, race, religion, sexuality, etc...0 -
