Now how much media froth would have been generated if one of those 3 words had been, let's say, horror of horrors, "White" ?

sorry JTT what would you like to know?
I knew this looked familiar - a thread from a while ago. Worth a read or maybe not, we didn't get far.

Perhaps get together with Apariah if they're still about, you may have some common ground for a better discussion.
Whoops, steady on now, a well known contributor doesn't like (some) members trawling past posts.

He finds it um ... ah... obsessive. :)
Is hard luck then - I thought two heads may be better than one.

Know what I mean?
mamy - TTT might end up talking to himself.
I have my best conversations that way Susan.
I often talk out loud to myself. The only time I get worried is when I don't know what I am going to hear.
That can be a worry Woof.
From Apariah's post 'explosion would have occurred if the word "black" had been, horror or horrors, say "white" ?'

How bizarre eh Tora?

I can't really add anything , did find this statement from earlier this year.

Everything seems to lead back to Valerie Rainford.
Oodles, Tora, there would have been oodles of froth.

so why is it ok to have special processes for Black people? Why is it ok to discriminate against white people?
I don't wish this to sound rude but if they were my employers I'd ask them for that clarification - it all reads like corporate gobbledegook to me.

My Daughter worked for a large American company in London and they had daft schemes now and then too.
Question Author
mamy questions like that are at best ignored at worst you'll be frogmarched out of the building!
Like that are they?

Suppose it pays the bills - all sounds rather unnecessary, they have something to prove on a grand scale seemingly instead of just getting the best people to do the best job.

TBF I'm pretty happy where I work, it's just this sort of thing that is continually punted round that grates a little.
