Great Britain White men may wait three years to get into the Metropolitan Police
I am personally acquainted with two police officers who simply got tired and fed up with being continually passed over on the Sergeant's exam here in the USA. They would always be among the top scoring candidates yet a female or ethnic minority who was sometimes thirty places down the scoring list from them would be promoted in their place.....these excellent, dedicated officers both just became disillusioned and fed up, and retired as soon as they could.
I've seen this in the fire service as well.
It seems that so very many people who push these affirmative action programs have never have had trouble of any kind in their lives. If they ever had, they would understand that when it's 3AM and your house is on fire or you have the need for police, you want the very most qualified person to appear at your door....not someone who is chosen for political reasons.

Folks are getting mighty fed up with the AA bs.
I understand that in UK at one time it was imperative that in order to serve on the police force, one had to be a Mason. Is that no longer true? It must not be, for I cannot imagine them passing over one’s own for a non-member.

Well I don’t see anything wrong here. You can’t be racist or discriminate against white people - so I don’t even see what they’re getting at.
I always wondered how hard those test were. I asked one of the SGTs in my reserve unit. She said it wasn’t hard at all. She couldn’t understand how you could fail it.
She did mention the aa and that if you were white male, you would need a BA/BS or a Masters. Minorities only needed high school and would be hired.
I told her I should take the test to mess up the average for the minorities.
