In the first seven weeks of The Apprentice Lord Sugar has fired the Eastern European woman, the black man and the Asian man. As a Jewish man he ought to know better.

So, in short, no.

Sigh!

He hasn't fired them for their ethnicity, he has fired them because he has decided they are not suitable.

As a millionaire businessman - he does know beter.

Are you just bored, or do you really see racism where it clearly does not exist?

All that's left after 7 of 16 weeks are white British men and women.

So that means by you're terms he's fired more white people.

If the roles were reversed and all the easily identifiable 'white British' men and women were fired, leaving only non-whites and white Eastern Europeans, would that be a more apposite position in your opinion? Or should we have an equal mix of British whites, Eastern Europeans and non-whites all the way to the end until, inevitably, a single winner is selected?

What should any other Jewish man have done ?

When the series first started in 2005, the winner was Timothy Campbell – a black British chap. Maybe Alan Sugar has become a racist in the last seven years since all of the other winners have been 'white British'. Yes, that makes a lot of sense... :-/
