Studenti bianchi bloccati dallo schema di esperienza lavorativa per i barristi

“Bar Council allows only black or mixed-race candidates to join a six-week summer internship”

I’m aware of situations where very wealthy ethnic minorities, who would otherwise be able to afford volunteering or similar experiences, have been granted these opportunities over poor white individuals.

As a country, we’ve become so hyperfocused on race and ‘racism’ we’ve lost sight on fairness and true equality.

I’m not jumping into the discussion about whether this is ok, but I want to point out that this headline is deliberately worded to fuel the current culture war. The program in question is specifically for black people, or mixed-race people with black heritage. So it excludes Asian people too, but the Telegraph’s slant makes it seem specifically anti-white.

All the white kids in the poverty ridden council estates clearly dont need a hand.

[Page 15 of the Diversity report on Barristers show black people in training or in the process of becoming an KC are inline with their percentage in the general population.](https://www.barstandardsboard.org.uk/static/a2827a1f-50bf-44fc-9bed27a2cc60046b/Diversity-at-the-Bar-2024.pdf) So it looks as if these programmes have done their job.

The white population is now under represented. With only 76.7% in the system being white when the population of the UK is 81.7% white.

Why’d you say it like that bro? You people just want to sow hatred and discourse. It’s a black heritage specific program, which nobody has a problem with until they feel like inciting public unrest. It’s not “white students blocked” it’s “this is an opportunity for black students specifically” which is very common in multiple sectors/places and isn’t an indication of the political climate in any way. There are many similar opportunities for other ethnicities, or for specific wealth brackets. The reason why there are some like this is because there is usually a few per job sector for every bracket of people commonly discriminated against in some way shape or form – ethnicity, race, class, sexism, wealth – in the name of equality. It’s not black people specific or anything. There will be other opportunities for people living in low income areas for example, or people in the care sector. Hell, Oxbridge does the exact same thing and it’s been going on for years! 

Newspapers like the telegram want you to believe that this is the start of the end, that the “woke liberals” have started discriminating against white people so they have to ‘fight back’ against it, but these are just basic, baseline inclusivity policies that we’ve had for a decade or longer with little issue or kerfuffle. It’s only when a rising political party will specifically thrive off more discourse and misinformation to further their campaign goals is when we start seeing headlines like these come out again. It’s actually so annoying, this “culture war” bs genuinely sickens me.

Typical misleading headline to try and invent a fake race war.

The council run multiple work experience schemes, which help target minorities that are underrepresented in the industry. Yes, that includes Black people. There are also other schemes that exist to support people from lower socio-economic groups.

It’s an important scheme to make sure that it’s not only privileged rich white people who get opportunities in lucrative careers. Anyone who thinks that this is ‘racist’, either doesn’t understand what the scheme is for, or simply doesn’t like black people.

This is what pushes people toward Reform et similia

> allows only black or mixed-race university students and graduates to join a six-week summer internship.

Lol, so not just white people. Only one ethnic minority is allowed to join the internship. How is this not considered discrimination? Race is a protected characteristic.

As someone who has only ever voted for leftwing parties i just have to say I truly despise this kind of thing. It’s so indicative of wider trends in society and I really worry for the future. 

This is straight up, without further qualification needed, discrimination against white people. People who say DEI essentially equals making sure there are less white men are correct, that isn’t a right wing fantasy.

Can we say now that the UK has institutional anti-White racism?

I mean this is anti-white racism disguised as diversity.

It is disgusting how these diversity or equality schemes are always designed to punch down at the expense of the next generation or people at the bottom of the progression chain, and never at the people who have already benefited and continue to benefit from alleged inequality.

It’s just ‘f you , got mine’ in a nutshell

I’m not sure why they single out White students in the headline? This is just discrimination against anyone who isn’t Black.

This is just a continuation of what we’ve been importing from the US. We see it in advertising as well.

How many South Asian, East Asian, Arabs, Polynesian and Mestizo people do you see in our adverts on TV here?

Then compare it to how many White and Black actors you see in these adbreaks.

These programs are Black-centric because it’s an issue to do with the guilt modern America has with their disgusting of Black people for centuries. And now we’ve imported it.
