"Positive for whom", probably not for the bloke who doesn't get the job because he doesn't tick the right boxes.

Ah yes, you mean like those people who send in a job application or CV, signing it with a foreign or ethnic-sounding name, and hear nothing. But when they post in an identical application in an English-sounding name, they get called for an interview.

That would obviously be discrimination on the grounds of race and religion.
What evidence is there that this practice is commonplace these days.
You will probably show the statistics on the under representation of black people among brain surgeons to prove your point, while ignoring other possible reasons for the real cause.
I believe people should be treated equally regardless of race or religion.
