Equal Opportunities - wtf?!

Right now I'm in the middle of applying for jobs (through a fairly large national organisation - it doesn't take rocket science to work out which one tbh!) and in one part of the application it goes on about how they want you to fill in an equal opportunities form;

Well, as you know, plenty of brits struggling for work at the minute.

Ie plenty of choice for who to hire.

My place, I got hired, a Ukranian and a couple of immigrants from China I believe. We are also getting another 2 polish.

This is to compliment the masses of blacks, indians and europeans already working in my department.

Seriously, I'm THE white quota at my place.

Very bizarre.

I was looking to join the police and asked advice from a lass i work with as her fella is a copper. When i asked how hard it was for him to get accepted she said it's not too hard but then he got in much more easily because although they shouldn't they do give preference to ethnic minorities apllications.

Made me think twice about whether i wanted to be part of an organisation like that at all (i decided i didn't).

Just grit your teeth and fill it out , a job is better than no job , and with the current market as it is and its going to get MUCH worse I'd rather have money in my pocket than to be unemployed out of principle which nobody will take notice of anyway.

I had to deliver a degree lecture about 'Racial data' collection last week. There is a huge amount of this type of data gathered in the UK as there is a lot of monitoring to ensure that companies have a balance of employeee. France and Germany collect virtually none of this kind of data.

The form is a standard one. Even applying to colleges they ask these questions that you can chose not to fill in. It should not make any difference to your application what you do or do not put in that section.
Good luck!

Is it BAE Systems? We have the same kind of crappy equal opportunities thing...
