I'm sorry. Positive discrimination is not all bad. In Cardiff, if you can speak Welsh, you are often pushed forward in jobs and careers, because it looks good for companies to have Welsh speakers in the company. And that is why jobs for welsh speakers pay on average around £2,000 more from what I saw in job agencies than those for english speakers doing the same thing.

Sorry but that is not positive discrimination, thats just people hiring the most qualified person.

If you have two candidates and one speaks one language and the other speaks two, including the language of the city where the interview is being held which person, all other things being equal would you choose?

Positive discrimination would be choosing the Welsh boy merely because he was Welsh even though the other guy spoke both languages and the Welsh lad didn't. :soapbox:

So what you're saying then, is that i am not correct in my analysis of "positive discrimination" *sidles out, and footsteps fade away. A faint echo of the shout "TAXI!!!" reverberates across the night sky to the faint satisfaction of bilbo*

;) I was just happy to get the extra money.

Don't feel bad, I'm just intellectually superior to you is all :P

Seriously though I don't see how being considered a better applicant on the basis of having an extra skill is either wrong, or racial.

If you speak two languages in a bi-lingual country that has to be good right?

It's like saying an able bodied assembly line worker was unfairly favoured because he could do the job more efficiently than a spacker.

Business is business, employers want and should be allowed to hire the best people to do the job required, they shouldn't feel obliged to take on a percentage of paki's or mongoloids just to meet government guidlines. They are a business not a charity.

It honestly wouldn't suprise me if in some poiltically correct council they would try and force a hospital to take on a blind surgeon who has to operate using the latest echo technology :P

Im Black does this mean you hate me?

It's a big one but I'll do it for you.

I often use 'yanks' but don't mean it in a derogatory way - I use it like 'Brit' or 'Aussie'. When I lived in the States, it wasn't derogatory.

I know things do move on - do americans view it as derogatory these days????

Which is pretty much most of the time ;D

Nah, for a big majority of the people on here the word really isn't used in that way

The way Munky and Bilbo throw it around 'seems' to be condescending, thought I'd point it out no biggie

Of course Munky is overt about hating America which is entertaining for the most part (sheeple :))

But when someone gets angry enough over a sad click that they take the time to create a thread requesting that the sad clicker to explain themself, ya can't really take that person serious can you? ;)
