Of course when there is blatant prejudice shown by the police or whoever in their recruiment practise, then that shouln't go without investigation.
No, of course not. But investigation and justice being done via the courts is a lot different than an interventionist government trying to enforce ethnic quotas.

Some people criticise the UK for it's 'racist' past, but what is 'Positive Discrimination' but racism in disguise?
