Default Trevor Phillips : Ignoring his own rules?

Lead story in this weeks edition of personnel today:

Quote:
CRE chief backs recruiter with an unlawful no whites policy

The man tasked with stamping out racism in the UK is supporting and advising a recruitment firm that has broken the Race Relations Act by refusing to take on white candidates.

Trevor Phillips, head of the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE), is on the advisory board of Rare Recruitment, a company that places graduates, but only if they are "visibly from a non-white background".

The board also includes other high profile race relations campaigners such as Sandra Kerr, national director of Race for Opportunity, and Anne Watts, a member of the steering group for the proposed Commission for Equality and Human Rights.

After investigation by Personnel Today, the company pulled its website on Friday and now claims its services are open to everyone, although specialising in ethnic minority candidates.

But Phillips backed Rare Recruitment from the start, despite the Race Relations Act (1976) clearly stating that it is illegal to discriminate against someone due to the colour of their skin. This includes attempts to make up a shortfall in a particular ethnic group in the workplace through positive discrimination.

Section 14 of the Act says it is unlawful for an employment agency to discriminate against a person ïby refusing or deliberately omitting to provide any of its servicesÍ.

Raphael Mokades, managing director of Rare Recruitment, insisted that the company was only practising positive action, which is legal under the Act.

But Naomi Feinstein, partner at Lovells law firm, said that positive action only applied to the training of staff and refusing white applicants was "definitely positive discrimination". "Positive action is quite tightly defined - it relates to the provision of training where there is no one of [a certain] racial group employed doing certain work and there only will be if employers offer that training," she said.

How can there be positive discrimination ?
Isn't that an oxymoron ?

Always amazed me how they get away with having The Black Police Officers Association. In these days when you cannot even have a male only social club without a bunch of right on females protesting about it.
