British "equality" law promotes inequality
The U.S. Democrats are pretty good at giving misleading names to their bills but the British are learning fast:
"Employers will be given legal powers to discriminate in favour of women and black job candidates under a controversial equality shake-up. Harriet Harman unveiled plans for firms to choose them ahead of equally-qualified white male applicants without risking being sued. Miss Harman, Labour's deputy leader, hopes to boost the proportion of female and ethnic minority staff, as well as pushing more of them into senior roles.
But the Equality Bill, which brings together nine major laws, yesterday prompted grave concern that white men could miss out unfairly on jobs. Business chiefs and opposition MPs reacted furiously to the plans, which have been described as 'socialism in one clause'. They warned it would burden firms struggling to cope with the worst recession in 60 years with more red tape and leave them open to 'costly and damaging' exployment tribunals.

Um,... it's called Affirmative Action. It's another leftist scam from the newly-socialist US meant to hold-back qualified Whites in favor of unqualified blacks.
Isn't it funny how leftists use genuine discrimination to combat perceived discrimination?
Don't the affirmative action proponents understand that it often backfires. When people who were unqualified in the first place fail, it opens the door to 'see, I told you so', then qualified blacks and women have a harder time later. The most qualified people should be hired, period. Then all people are rewarded for ability and hard work, instead of sex or color. I guess ability and hard work don't count in a PC world.
If I were black I would be extremely offended by affirmative action. What? I'm too dumb for this job? Oh, never mind, I may be dumb, but I'm black!! I'm in!!
Why on earth would ANYBODY want a job offer based on the fact they are too stupid to get the job otherwise?
Because to many, it beats having to try.
Drip, drip, drip.
Our freedoms are slowly dripping away and very few notice.
Liberal intervention in business and education leads to mediocrity and a degrading of life.
