White cop cap's racist idiocy

WEST Yorkshire Police has put a block on white recruits. Let that sink in for a minute — the police force with the second-biggest crime rate in the country isn’t employing white coppers, because it wants more black and brown people in its ranks.

And while WYP hasn’t actually put a sign up in their police station windows saying “Whites not welcome here”, they might as well.

This is racism pure and simple. Imagine any British company saying “ethnic minorities need not apply”. There'd quite rightly be uproar. As there should be over this.

One, because this is a Christian country where 82% of the population is white. Two, because this kind of racism is abhorrent in a country obsessed with diversity, equality and inclusion. Three, because I doubt very much whether it’s even legal — one senior employment lawyer has already said it’s positive discrimination, which is illegal here. But most importantly because these idiots in West Yorks (a force that’s spent £1.4million on diversity hires in three years and learned nothing) still haven’t realised that the public doesn’t care about the colour of a copper’s skin or his religion. They just want him/her out there protecting them and solving crimes.
