Wanting to hire “fewer white men” for a job is not discrimination, a tribunal has ruled.
Chris Palmer was turned down from an £80,000 post at a financial services company, who instead opted to hire a woman, after he was told at his job interview the company wanted to hire fewer white men.
At an employment tribunal, the candidate said his failure to get the position as head of HR was based on his ethnicity and gender following the remark from Michael Jones, the managing director.
However the panel dismissed his claims – ruling it was not “indicative of an intention to discriminate” when an employer mentioned its aim to improve diversity in its workforce.
Tamara Lewis, the judge presiding over the tribunal, said that although an organisation may aspire to be “less dominated by white men”, it does not mean that there is an “intention to achieve that objective by discriminating in recruitment against white men and in favour of women or minority ethnic candidates”.

white guys need to start their own businesses...stop depending on fairness because there is no fairness, nor merit apparently.
The diversity division got to basically play and plan. I can’t go in to specifics but imagine a group of people working for an architectural firm that all they do is design parking lots. If a building collapses people can die. If a parking lot is a total cluster frack, oh well. At least the building is safe.
Fewer old white men at Titan Submersible worked great, until it didn’t....
Boeing probably wastes 50% of their total budget keeping incompetents employed for their DEI bullcrap. BUT that’s the cost of taking government dollars. Oh the waste I saw during my days as a contractor. Add to that the union workers and probably 80% of the money these companies spend is total waste.
Maybe they should talk to all the HP, Intel and IBM employees let go over the last 25 years.
HP is now dead...Intel in trouble and IBM has now damaged themselves undoing the gains they made in the last 10 years.
There are as many straight white male HR directors as there are white wide receivers in the NFL.
“It’s Racist, but it’s against a Caucasian... so it’s ok.”
What a world we live in.
That’s fascinating. I see what you are saying. Have them design usable things but nothing for which a failure could cause deaths.
I think I may have been in a parking lot designed by such a team. LOL.
