Quite the flip side. Scholarship offered by excluding races; somehow it's not considered racism.

It's a subject that keeps going around in terms of inclusion of minorites in higher education but it some how implies every white child will go to university at the expense of a black child. Silly really. I couldn't afford to go to university the same as many others can't (or couldn't at the time).

It comes to the question, are you for equal opportunity or equal outcome?

Bragydear kindly brought this to my attention the other day.
It is worth a read:
"By request, I've put this in a new thread.
It's my take on positive discrimination and why it's sometimes justified."

Surely the sponsor can set their own criteria, as they set up the sponsorship to achieve their objectives.

Now where have I heard that before?

s that a mouse? I thought I heard a squeak and a shuffle.
Oh no, it is a donkey.

As I thought, you lied.

Bodd said it 'is not the norm' now.

You claimed he said: 'racism does not exist now....'

there is a distinct difference.

So you built your argument from a false starting point.

Why do you feel the need to do it

OK, I forgot to mention within legal limits.
But I assumed we would realise that sponsorship could not stray outside of legal limits.

If you read the Positive Action thread, you will realise that Positive Action is allowed in order to redress an imbalance, e.g. black uni students at Cambridge.
A ban on nationalities applying for jobs is obviously not redressing an existing imbalance.
As you introduced the strawman concept, you must have practised introducing it into discussions.

Is that the best you could do? Me telling how it was!

That's nice. I hope someone like Ed Shearan could for do the same for two white students. It's good to give back.
Let face it they have the money

Is that a donkey braying?

Are you unable to answer the question?
Its not a hard question, but you seem to find it hard to answer

Did Bodd say there is no racism in football now?

You're not seriously going to suggest I tried to misrepresent your position when I quoted verbatim what you said?

Positive action or equality of opportunity shouldn't be restricted to one race as the same social and economic downfalls affect everyone at the bottom.

Cambridge has been criticised for not admitting many pupils from a black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) background.
In June, the university asked for help from schools and parents to increase the number of black British students it enrols.
