Employment denied, your're the wrong kind of white

Political correctness gone too far, without a doubt. Abigail Howarth, 18, a white woman, applied for a job, but was told not to bother -- seems she was "the wrong kind of white." The company was looking to hire "ethnic minorities" like "white Irish, white Welsh and white Scottish." Ms. Howarth is simply 'white English.' The article concludes, "No doubt Howarth’s mother would have left the country and given birth to her in Ireland, Pakistan or anywhere else had she known the hardships her daughter would have to endure by having been born in England. If only she had known."

Abigail Howarth, 18, a white student, who was born in England applied for a job with the Environmental Agency’s flood management program. The Agency had advertised that ethnic minorities were “encouraged” to apply for the position; something that is hardly unusual in this day and age. [snip]

The Environmental Agency even admitted that they had no information of evidence that the good whites; those from Wales, Ireland and Scotland, were underrepresented in the area where the job was located which is a requirement for legalized discrimination under the Race Relations Act. Why let the law get in the way of being politically correct.

This is obviously a bad thing for Howarth and other qualified applicants who were white English. [snip]

But to society in general, what happened to Abigail Howarth and the other of these “bad whites” may turn out to be a good thing. The only way that society will ever get rid of this ridiculous concept of extreme political correctness is when liberally minded people who abhor legitimate racial and ethnic discrimination finally get fed up and cry “enough”. A lot of people oppose this type of pc behavior where its main purpose is to make those who implement it feel superior and good about themselves. But they are reluctant to speak out lest they be called a racist, a bigot, a xenophobe, a homophobe, and even worse, a George W. Bush fan. But it’s pretty hard to attach these labels to someone who thinks that giving preferences to good whites from Wales while denying employment opportunities to bad whites from England such as Abigail Howarth is wrong. We can only hope that political correctness such as this will continue to create a badly needed backlash against what is nothing more than legalized racial discrimination. (CFP)

Yes, this was 'over there', but just wait ...

It would be nice to live in a society that allows you to speak the truth without getting called a racist, bigot, Islamophobe, whatever.

If allowed to speak truthfully everyone would say that these racial preference laws are in fact racist. These laws declare that certain races are too stupid or too lazy to attain certain educational levels or to hold jobs without government help.

As long as we continue to favor one group over another, we will never become a non-racist society.
