Council BARS Whites from Jobs

Former History student, Kieron Keenan, 23, of Lancing, West Sussex, applied for a job at Brighton and Hove Council and was turned down because he is WHITE, even though he is a graduate and qualified.
Kieron was not even allowed to apply for the assistant post by council superiors as he is not Chinese, Asian, African or Afro Caribbean.
He was quoted as saying yesterday: “I’m qualified but barred by my skin colour. I didn’t even get chance to apply as the ad said you couldn’t unless you were non-white. Apparently it’s perfectly legal but I feel astonished and very annoyed.”
The Labour controlled Council imployed the Race Relations Act so they could bar any whites from applying to the £9,000-a-year job at the Royal Pavilion, in order to fill quotas of ethnic minority staff.
Bert Williams, who is in charge of running the area’s Black History Project, stated: “It is just another form of discrimination.”
A spokesman from the Council stated: “It is lawful to offer training only for people from a certain racial group.”
