The British Transport Police are disadvantaging white, male applicants by excluding them from recruitment workshops.
The force is holding the workshops in London, Manchester, and Birmingham — but one would-be officer was turned away after being told they were for “women and black or ethnic minority” candidates only, reports The Metro.
“I am a white heterosexual male and also a member of the armed forces, how can a public service blatantly support this kind of discrimination and inequality in 2017?” he told the newspaper.
“I am going to withdraw my application due to having been treated in such a manner.”
Metro’s correspondent Harley Tamplin seemed incredulous that the veteran was upset at being discriminated against on the basis of his race and sex, describing him as having criticised the police force “for wanting to employ more women and people from ethnic minorities — yes, seriously”.
It is technically illegal to discriminate against job applicants on the basis of their race or sex in the United Kingdom — but so-called “positive action” provisions in the Equality Act 2010 provide a number of ways around this, allowing employers to target supposedly disadvantaged groups during the hiring process.

Years ago, when I had been discharged from the US Navy, I went to a recruitment drive for the Houston Police Department. I was young, being early 20’s, and thought it would be a good way to continue to help my community. Well, the Sargent I interviewed with announced to me that while there was a new class starting up in two weeks, that it was full of white men, and that they were not accepting any more white men. If I was a woman, or black or hispanic, or asian, I would be in the next class. Thanks Sgt Gonzales! Kept me from making a huge mistake!
- and that certain segment of society doesn’t have children who would join the police force. Bankers, lawyers etc. but not police. As such it does not affect them directly and they don’t mind excluding whites.
