Positive Discrimination?


Positive Discrimination?
The government is considering a law that means that employers will be able to discriminate towards a black or female job applicant purely because of the colour of their skin or gender to promote diversity within the workplace.
It is undeniable that there are still racial and gender biases in our society. A law that allows for these biases to take place will only enforce them. Knowing that you got a job based on the colour of your skin would make anyone question their ability!
In my opinion discrimination is discrimination whether or not it is deemed positive or not. This website below outlines the equalities minister’s proposals.
