Who would have thought that in the year 2020, whether or not you qualified for a job could be determined by your skin colour. How very progressive.

There was always a contradiction in Affirmative Action, trying to fight racism by reifying race and employing racial preferences. Identity politics is a dead end. The real issue is class, not race, even though racism most definitely oppresses minorities. The identity politics solution is unconsciously also racist (understandable, since it is a solution born in a racist society). There has to be a better way to end racism without these predictable consequences that inflame and support it.

Looking for a black person in wales who can speak welsh?

That's a fucking unicorn right there. Wales is less than 1.5% PoC.

It is also an illegal advertisement.

Edit : Turns out I am wrong employment in the UK has changed.

Employing people with protected characteristics

You can choose a candidate who has a protected characteristic over one who does not if they’re both suitable for the job and you think that people with that characteristic:

are underrepresented in the workforce, profession or industry
suffer a disadvantage connected to that characteristic (for example people from a certain ethnic group are not often given jobs in your sector)

You can only do this if you’re trying to address the under-representation or disadvantage for that particular characteristic. You must make decisions on a case by case basis and not because of a certain policy.

You cannot choose a candidate who is not as suitable for the job just because they have a protected characteristic. Favouring disabled candidates

When a disabled person and a non-disabled person both meet the job requirements, you can treat the disabled person more favourably.

Turns out you can racist and ableist as long as it in the 'correct' direction.

Fuck me I am glad I am old. This planets beyond fucked.
