Interesting situation has cropped up in this area.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ed-accent.html
Now if the panel did laugh then yes there is a case to be had here and heads should roll but putting that bit to one side.. it says in the text...
Keswani, who was working for the BBC's Persian service at the time, said she should have been given the job under the Equality Act 2010 but was unfairly marked down during her interview.
Had she been 'scored fairly', she would have been ranked as an equal to second-placed candidates, meaning the BBC would have to give her the job under equality law as she is non-white, she said.
Keswani, who also chairs the diversity action group at The Production Guild, argued the 'soft skills' section of her interview put her at a disadvantage and claims it was racist.
I'm all for equality and I find it hard to believe that institutions really are racist in this day and age (although there is some damming evidence around to be fair) but calling a fair process racist and giving roles to second place candidates doesn't seem right to me at all.
Is this type of stuff really needed and how does it help the corp that is applying it? Where is the line drawn?
