ETHNOS is the UK's leading specialist in minority ethnic research. We provide organisations with the knowledge and understanding they require to develop products and services that meet the needs of Britain's diverse communities. Our research projects can be on anything from government and local authority services to TV & radio programmes and/or a variety of consumer products.

It is a chance to voice your opinions and to earn some money at the same time.

We are currently looking for people from different minority ethnic backgrounds, living in the UK, to take part in a number of new projects. Some projects simply involve filling in a short survey online, others involve taking part in an online discussion and, sometimes, we invite people to attend face-to-face discussion groups in their local area.

Whatever the type of research, those who are invited to take part will always receive an incentive (often cash), as a thank-you for their time. Typically, we pay anything from £5!for a very short online survey!to between £30-£60!to anyone who attends one of our 90 minute face-to-face discussion groups. Please note: you must be 16 years of age or above to register.

I actually find this quite insulting. If someone posted an opportunity that was only open to white british people, there would be uproar.

You are probably right. However if you actually tried the link British White is one of the options on the list.

I tried the link and got a blank grey screen. The OP doesn't say anything about this being an equal opportunity.

I also find this offensive and racist.

I would suggest anyone who feels the same should make a complaint to the equality and human rights commission (email address below). This guide shows that people should not be treated differently based upon their race. This company is only looking to pay people from a minority ethnic background for their research.

As others say, if those from ethnic backgrounds were excluded from surveys there would be uproar.

if the data the require is for a certain ethnic background then why would they want data from those not in it?
using surveys as a research method may require you to target a certain criteria of participant

For all who are moaning..

Than we all should complain about all other survey's we are kicked out from as being not qualified whatever the reason is......not meeting target group

No option for mixed white backgrounds. So I flipped a coin.
