Brickbat: A Thumb on the Scale

John Robins, head of England's West Yorkshire Police, said police departments should be able to practice "positive discrimination" in favor of black and Asian applicants in order to increase the number of nonwhite officers in their ranks. Robins insists this would not result in lower standards for officers. Such discrimination is illegal in England and Wales. "I think the time has now come that legislation should change so that we should [use] positive discrimination," he said.

I think we should use positive discrimination toward applicants who are most qualified and most likely to do an excellent job.

Somehow, that's bound to make me racist. Not sure how, but now that I've said it I know it's coming. That's how fucking retarded people like this dude and his enablers work.

I'm making $90 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning sixteen thousand US dollars a month by working on the connection, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply. Everybody must try this job now by just using this website... http://www.Payathome7.com

I work an online job from home and earn 185 dollars per hour. I never imagined I could do it, but my best friend, who makes $15,000 a month at the job, encouraged me to find out more about it. This has limitless possibilities.

Ooooh! I like your idea of hiring the mentally disabled (don't say "retarded", it's so mean!) for law enforcement positions! They already hold a lot of the top spots, but more of them at the beat cop level would be good as well.

[Minadin]

Don't they already have a cap for IQ on new hire cops that's disturbingly close to 100 already?

Well, looking at yesterday's, you have to be able to hit a dog at a dead run from 10 yards away with your sidearm. You may not need book learnin' or people skills, though.

But nazichipper is right. They aren't retarded. We should use respectful names for the 'tards. People of Retardation, or something. Whatever, the fucking sped peddlers will just change it again when they realize we're using it to call the windowlickers windowlickers.

If native (read that white) Brits allow that damnfoolishness, then they deserve it. All out of sympathy, sorry. (After all they do still have elections in Great Britain, and they elected the people that empowered this affirmative action idiot.)

[Adans smith]

He should write a country song about it. I'm sure it would get a positive reaction, unlike, well, you know.

If you take the time to read the 3.5 page FD-1023 form released by Senator Grassley relative to Burisma and the Biden's on 7/20/2023, it becomes immediately clear what POTUS Trumps first impeachment was all about. Just read it.

Positive discrimination in favor of black and Asian applicants means lots more Muslims. Unlike the applicants they're looking for, you gotta know how to speak English to understand what they actually mean by what they say. It's already well known that London is not English, soon all of England and in fact most of Europe will be Muslim. When the churches in Europe reject Christianity in favor of the Religion of Woke, there's nobody opposing the Islamists. Look at the riots going on in France that are officially blamed on video games, social media, and climate change when we all know it's Muslims. The extreme right wing in places like Italy and Germany and Sweden are not extremists, they've just seen what open borders and a welfare state do to your country when you live next door to Muslims instead of Mexicans.

This police officer from Yorkshire pudding extra points towards non-white applicants? So he wants. Perhaps they create a scorable “likability factor.”

[Yes Way, Ted]

Wankers.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Robins is clearly the right man for his job. He's got his eye on what's most important.

[Longtobefree]

John Robins, head of England's West Yorkshire Police is a racist.

[damikesc]

So they expect the result that every other place has seen when emphasizing skin color and gender identity over competence won't happen there?

Our airlines are a bigger fiasco then many realize do to retiring of experienced pilots and hiring tons of brand new pilots, focusing on minorities, and seeing what happens. Massive increases in near-misses is a big one.

[Chumby]

Recall 22 years ago there was some issue with PoC (pilots of color).

[Ajsloss]

Allah-t of that had nothing to do with skin color.

[Public Entelectual]

And where are the colorful Welsh Bobbies, look you?

[Chumby]

Somebody is Jonesing for more Welsh.

Hey, it worked for the GOP that absorbed Wallace voters into the New Solid South! Blacks, once lynched, now have a champion restoring Comstockism and bringing back sex-based instead of racial slavery. Beatles albums are burned at the stake along with individual rights, thanks to George Waffen, Trump, Mutterkreuz Mom, Palito and Long Dong--all of them Republican appointees!
