Bird watching and ethically diverse?

Sounds like an ideal job for the Rickster??? Watching birds and being from Anglesey is surely as diverse as you can get, it's much rarer a place than Portland and that is saying something.

 

[Steevo]

Is that not positive discrimination?!

 

[Netherfield]

Surprised it doesn't say you must vote Labour.

I'm pretty sure such determination has the opposite of the desired effect.
It certainly only causes irritation hereabouts.

Edited that one for you

Is that actually allowed - obviously is.
In another career I had applications did not include names, ages, far less sexual or religious stuff.
You could work out the age by the school exams but nothing else.

What if, as a white Scottish person I applied? What would be the response? You are too white. I see a film director has been criticised for not having enough Hispanics and Latino actors of a dark enough skin colour. Where is all this taking us.

That sums the bbc up, set of box ticking b*****ds!

Should also say ‘preferably gay and disabled but not essential’

I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be legal to say “This opportunity is only open to White British people”.

Make of that what you will….

 

[melted welly]

What does “ethnically diverse” even mean?

Is a Scottish person “ethnically diverse” in Bristol?

How about blacks who identity as being white?
