"Haven't you got it yet? The whole country has gone to bonkers land. I can't get my head around what has happened in the last 50 years." And of course you were complaining it was bonkers all the years when police recruited no black or Asian people? No, thought not. | |||

"I googled this. Saw the news sites that were going nuts about it, and chose to read the actual police website and discovered, unsurprisingly that it's a non story. " Just checked the web site as well and I agree its not totally biased but the current applications are ONLY from ethnic minorities. It then goes on to say stuff about these applications going through to interview stage an then held until "other applications" are received when recruitment is open. Apparently only the best will be chosen regardless of ethnicity !! So why not just open the applications to everyone?? It still stinks to me! | |||

"Before my time probably as don't remember it but at one time some pubs, hotels and B&B had signs say No Blacks, No Irish etc etc. Big hue and cry about it and rightly so. But surely this police force is just as bad." and no dog's Cardiff tiger bay as it was some shops had signs in windows no coloured served here and that was the black people great sense of humour, but it was not very nice back then I remember getting called ni##er meat because I had black friends .Just made me more determined to have more of them tbh x | |||

"What ever your skin colour The best person always should be picked for a job. Anything else is an abomination. Totally agree "Seldom happens at all regardless of any criteria or quota, nepotism, old school tie, known quantity, lack of quality applicants, promoted to get them out of the way all contribute to a poor management pool to fish from. | |||

"This wouldn’t be that bad a thing a lot of police forces have a white mail racist element. Mail racist element?? What has postal services got to do with it?" I presume he means 'Daily Mail racist element'. That makes sense | |||

"West Yorkshire Police is temporarily taking no applications for Police Officers from white applicants in order to ensure "diversity"?? Are people not recruited to jobs according to there abilities?" Well, clearly not by that police corps🙄. With policies like this, little wonder there's a potent swing towards the far right as a reaction, and rightly so - the pendulum effect beginning to take effect throughout the world as we type this 🤔🤷🏽♂️....sigh  | |||

"It's a perfectly legitimate way to attract more recruits from communities that could play a part in making the polis a more diverse workforce. " So you are in favour of discrimination. Just so we know. The best people available should be recruited. | |||

"It took a 2 minute search to find out that it is utter bullshit. Why do racists never, ever have the brain cells to actually read anything? You can be convinced the world is going to hell because someone is a slightly different colour than you in an instant and yet can't take 5 mins to read something. " But is it? No smoke without fire. Several newspapers have reported in as have several news channels. Even as far away as Australia. West Yorkshire Police are denying it but something must have prompted it. | |||

"It's a perfectly legitimate way to attract more recruits from communities that could play a part in making the polis a more diverse workforce. So you are in favour of discrimination. Just so we know. The best people available should be recruited." ... ... I'm in favour of greater representation from black and asian communities. There is only one way to redress the balance and sadly that's conditions sometimes being attached to applications. Otherwise the force stays firmly rooted in the 20th century. I don't believe in discrimination, I believe in progress. | |||

Several newspapers have reported in as have several news channels. Even as far away as Australia. West Yorkshire Police are denying it but something must have prompted it." "West Yorkshire Police recruits Police Officers periodically throughout the year. When our recruitment process is open, we advertise this here on our website. Due to our police service being under-represented by people from an ethnic minority background, we accept applications all year round from these under-represented groups. This is in accordance with the Equality Act 2010. As of the last equality report, only 9% of our officers are from an ethnic minority background, but 23% of people in West Yorkshire are from these communities. Applications from people from an ethnic minority background are processed through to the interview stage, but then held until recruitment is opened for everyone. We will always employ the best person for the job, who meets the required standard during both at the assessment and during the interview process, regardless of how they describe themselves on their application form. Enabling people from an ethnic minority background to apply early does not give them an advantage in the application process it simply provides us with more opportunity to attract talent from a pool of applicants who reflect the diverse communities we serve."

"Welsh Government advertised for a ‘Teacher training grant’ to ethnic minority people only. It all comes under the DEI framework for better diversity within all work settings. Regardless of the good intentions, it’s nothing more than racism towards white people. As stated earlier, the best person for the job should be the prime objective." DEI is an american policy. We don't have dei in the UK. We have the equalities act. | |||

"There are anti discrimination laws in the U.K. They apply to everyone. ANYONE not complying with them should be prosecuted. The fence of inclusivity should be summarily dismissed as it’s an oxymoron. " ... .. Have they broken the law with this application. What particular law? Surely lawyers will have had their say on the wording of ad? | |||

"Diversity, Equality and Inclusion it does sound like a society evolving to encapsulate all of its multi faceted individuals, oh no wait the bad guys won and it's time to reverse our evolution and go back to the tunnel vision and prejudices of a bygone era lead by a reality TV star conning people to make himself richer. Life in 2025 . Oh dear! Mx 😻" Exactly this! That tangerine turd and his little arse licking minions have set the world back 20 years. They've ensured that those who hate anything that isn't white, male and insane. We have our own mini fuhrer here in the UK but at least most people can see him for the weasel he is. | |||

"West Yorkshire Police is temporarily taking no applications for Police Officers from white applicants in order to ensure "diversity"?? Are people not recruited to jobs according to there abilities?" It's called Positive Discrimination, you will see it in all organisations, if it's not colour it will be we haven't got enough women or here in Wales in the public and third sectors people have to speak Welsh seemingly regardless of an individuals ability to do the job. | |||

"It isn't a thing. Positive discrimination is still discrimination illegal under the equalities act 2010. Companies can say applications from ....will be prioritiesed. Usually because they lack expertise or insight into that area. That doesn't then mean they will not accept applications from other people. It's just this horrible narrative of white male fragility. Clutching pearls at making life even a little bit better for other people. Which is weird because all you people on this site belong to a minority " I don't think imin any minority I'm just me one of a kind x | |||

"You can't really blame the applicants. It does feel like some people justifying their jobs as DEI consultant though. If you aren't seen as doing something as a DEI specialist then people will question why you are employed. " DEI is an american policy, not a UK policy. There are no DEI consultants. We have had the equalities act since 2010 and our little island hasn't fallen to any other demographic. | |||
