I hate racism, so I was shocked and angry to read this. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-510418/Fire-service-bans-white-men-open-days--boost-number-ethnic-minority-recruits.htmlWhat would you guys think if the same attitude applied to Rovers? If Darren had to choose between Ellis and Rory and then had to choose Ellis because of his race? What I love about Britain is when the best person wins whatever creed or culture they are. N'golo Kante PFA Player of the year, Delle Alli Young Player Of the Year, who would argue? Great players and a joy to watch. I truly hope the PC brigade with their discriminatory attitudes never ever get a foothold in football. |

Not going to click the link for obvious reasons but a quick Google shows that it's from 2008. Not really sure what the relevance is now. If you're massively concerned after reading their "equality and fairness policy" here then I suggest you contact your MP (assuming you're a constituent of an area covered by AF&RS). As the Ellis/Gaffney scenario is pure fiction then I don't see what relevance this has on a football forum, although please do let me know if I've missed the point. |

It's so hard being white in Corbyn's Britain; it's health and safety gone mad!

Ok here's a couple more for you www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/03/27/increase-black-minority-staff-numbers-business-minister-warns/www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35785838The point is IMO the best person should get the job. Hypothetical re Rovers, but could happen if these attitudes grow in the future. |

Another reason not to read that sh** paper Yeah, they didn't cover how Saudi Arabia and Iran hold "white only" days - most of the rest of the world are falling over themselves to include white men in their power structures.......It's about time we give something back. I hear the middle east have a big drive to include more white people in their boardroom, as do most African states and pretty much everywhere. The love is so strong we really should be offering out children's opportunities and resources to them. |

This probably ought to be in general chat.
Having said that, my nephew was told it wasn't worth applying for those reasons.

I'm white, with all limbs, heterosexual with no mental health problems at the moment. I'm feeling marginalised.  |
