I disagree that it is racist - I think there is a need for certain jobs and that they are justified.
For example the womens centre in accrington/blackburn can advertise for just women workers because of the sensitive nature of the support they can provide. That isnt sexist it is a need being met.
Now tell me ...
you are in the middle of Moss side you are called to an incident where a yardie is waving a gun around irratically shouting and bawling in a really thick Jamaican accent you need to calm him down quickly but you dont understand a word he is saying except for the fact that he is calling you white scum.
what would you do ?
it happens and unfortunately these are times where jobs are allocated to certain sexes, races or abilities because it is the best option for the situations that crop up in that job.
If there was a job offered for a roofer - would you be saying it was discrmination if it stated you had to have arms and legs
damn you damn you all lol
oh and it turns out he wasnt a yadrie after all - he had dropped his contact lens and was trying to stop people standing on it - the gun was a water pistol to moisturise his eye ballsies
