Jack Zanelli believes he was a victim of positive discrimination after he scored highly in aptitude...

Best man or woman for the job should be the aim, not some ludicrous woke bullshit agenda.

They even have a ridiculous oxymoronic name for it, "positive discrimination".

 

What the @$%± is positive about discrimination of any kind?

There is an ex fighter jet pilot and instructor on YouTube that exposed most of the mental stuff they were doing in the RAF, Fast Jet Performance.

 

Even lost his job outside of the RAF as part of it.

 

You even need a degree to fly, yet can join the police unable to read and write!.

Well uncle Joe says he's Irish, so by that logic we are all African. What's a few million years of evolution when it comes to form filling.

Yea . That is daft and to be accurate politically wrong . It is discrimination full stop . 

[Mesterh]

But it is positive discrimination rather than discrimination!

 

Anyway whatever you want to call it it shouldn't happen.

No . You are wrong IMHO. Saying its positive discrimination is worse . There is no such thing as positive discrimination.  Its discrimination because he is white . Its works both ways .

Your opinion on this instance doesn't matter though. Why would your opinion on the definition of something change the definition of said thing?

 

Look up the legal terms of discrimination and then the legal terms of positive discrimination.

 

I'm not having a go at you mate but opinions don't trump facts.

But why positive ? That  assumes  its ok to discriminate  against a white person but not against a black person . I thought discrimination was treating people differently .  I admit I don't get it and its my opinion .

It has its place.

Should Oxbridge select it’s students purely on exam results, in which case public school kids would take the huge majority of places based on the parents ability to pay for private education?

 

Or should the children, equally as gifted, but who went to state schools, be denied top university places because of understandably less impressive numbers?
