Only If you were rejected for being white at the interview it is, and ethnicity and even Gender are omitted from the form by HR during shortlisting so the Interviewer doesn't know beforehand. Apply for it, so that when you turn up for the interview they are forced to think of a reason other than "you're white" to not hire you when you ask for feedback.

It's weird, but the internship comes from Creative Access. They're an organisation 'dedicated to recruiting BAME talent in the creative industries', by working with companies to let them give out internships.

I guess, working all that through, it becomes a requirement of that internship to be non-white. Being white and taking it, from the limited pool of internships available, would genuinely be of no use whatsoever to Creative Access.

Also, as you'd expect from an organisation trying to get people from disadvantaged backgrounds into an industry where they're under-represented, they're paid internships, at a rate of at least the local living wage, and the money is classified as a "training allowance" so it isn't taxable.

I honestly feel like this nation hates white blokes. I also hate the increasing popularity of Islam in England. London just doesnt feel the same as it did 15 years ago. My workplace as blanket stopped hiring white men. Maybe I'm letting the propagandic shit get to me, but I'm legitimately shaken walking about the city at night.

Recognising (an alleged) hostility towards white men is not declaring a problem with immigrints.

Hating Islam is not the same as having a problem with immigrints.

Being scared of crime is not the same as having a problem with immigrints.

Complaining about the a workplace stopping the hiring of white men is not the same as having a problem with immigrints.

There's a big difference between normal immigration and unlimited mass immigration, and the difference between the culture of UK - Spain folks is miniscule compared to UK - eskimo. Brits go to Spain and spend tons of money, even the drunken louts who cause most of our national shame are peppering the bar owners with impulisve holiday cash. We're receiving untold millions of people from everywhere and they are given major preference over people born here.

There's a severe and increasing amount of homelessness, which is visible now even in medium size towns. There are growing crowds of homeless British people setting up tent groups and visiting soup kitchens, but the government is dishing out flats double time to single men from Ghana and Sudan and then trying to claim it's all Syrian women with babies and if you analyse the problem with any depth you're just wacist and want Syrian babies bombed.

The state has definitely fucked over the house supply for the past 20 years. That isn't the fault of refugees though, I really would prefer the state solve both problems. But it obviously feels like a slap in the face when they solve one but not the other. We need to remove the idea that houses should go up in value from the public consciousness, and flood the market with houses until the average prices drop to 2-3 times average annual earnings again which is not a problem the man from the Sudan could possibly solve or be responsible for.

I don't particularly like that my tax is going towards someone or something that isn't national, but rather to take in and house immigrant refugees.

Saturating the job market and putting more strain on the benefits system is the last thing that Britain needs.

I also dislike Islam, I feel it has no place in modern society. Open homophobia and sexism is an ugly thing and I'm shocked that people condone it. The eskimo paedophile rings and terrorist attacks aren't helping eskimos either. This isn't avout race, it's about the culture that is brought over. It is not compatible with modern British tolerance.

It's a fact that the government is both accepting refugees and building houses, so by your logic I could argue it is attempting to solve both crises.

We have a rapidly ageing population. Migrant workers are predominantly young and a large proportion intend to return to their country of origin before retirement. If we send all the foreigners home, we might solve the housing crisis, but we make the pension and care crisis exponentially worse. Young people will be able to buy a cheap house, but they'll be crippled by the tax burden of looking after a population that is rapidly headed towards being majority elderly.

We could of course encourage good healthy white people to breed, but then we'd need more houses to fit all of their kids in. The only other reasonable option is to keep the foreigners and deport the elderly.

The issue is that people don't truly understand what equal opportunity means. It doesn't mean equal outcomes. It doesn't mean treating everyone the same.

Let's say you're at school and there was a disabled pupil in your class. During exams they're permitted extra time and perhaps a scribe or some other resources. Do you start bleating on about special treatment and how equality should mean they face the same exam conditions as everyone else? No, you cunts, because it's simply levelling the playing field. The same logic applies to ethnics.

>That sounds an awful lot like a Ponzi scheme.

It's a temporary blip.

The birthrate was really high between 1945 and 1965, then went into rapid decline. Life expectancy has increased drastically over the last few decades, while the birthrate is below the replacement rate. We've currently got a very numerous generation entering retirement with a very long life expectancy, but the number of young people has been falling for decades. That generation entering retirement haven't saved anywhere near enough to fund their retirement. Most of that cohort will be dead by 2050, but we need something to tide us over until then, otherwise an ever-smaller number of young people will have to shoulder an ever-larger burden of taxation until the population stabilises. Bright and ambitious young people will start to emigrate in droves, making the problem even worse.

The baby boomers could have planned for all this, but the selfish bastards didn't, so now we're stuck with it. The only decent answer anyone can find is immigration, but the generation who caused this mess are stubbornly opposed to it. It might make economic sense to start sending them all home in 2050, but we just can't afford to cut immigration at the moment.

I wouldn't say they're stubbornly opposed to it. I'd say it's more a case of there being no justification for it being 500,000 to 600,000 [largely unskilled] people coming here each year every year and then breeding like rabbits.

If it is to sort out the aging population Ponzi scheme then why hasn't anyone at all tried to quantify how many people we actually need coming in. I haven't heard anyone come out and say the current rates are the optimum number to solve this and Labour only originally assumed we'd have around 10,000 a year coming in from the likes of Poland.

There is no magic number, because it's reliant on a lot of other forecasts and policy decisions. The appropriate level of immigration will need to be continually reassessed as economic conditions change, but we're fairly confident that our current rate is somewhere in the middle of the range of plausible figures.

Policy changes could partly mitigate the need for immigration; cuts to the state pension rate would make a high old-age dependency rate more affordable, while increasing the pension age would reduce the ratio. A stronger than predicted economic recovery would obviously help, but it's entirely possible that the stagnant growth of the last decade is here to stay. Probably the most difficult factor to predict is the cost of health and social care, because a great deal depends on advancements in medical technology and lifestyle changes amongst the middle-aged. Major advances in anti-ageing therapies could render this whole issue academic; conversely, the link between obesity and dementia could be far worse than we thought, leading to a vast increase in care costs.

You can play around with the figures yourself using ONS data - most of the modelling is GCSE-level maths. The crucial statistic is the old-age dependency ratio, but there are a lot of levers you can pull.
