i think you using the word discrimination may be a bit to far. I understand it.
But you have to know that minorities have a higher unemployment rate, a lower education rate and live in much higher poverty rates compared to whites.
So if they need to make a minority only event to help people so be it.

There is no discrimination here; ethnic minorities and blacks do very badly in North Yorkshire. The authorities are simply trying to alleviate disproportionate rates of unemployment.

There are people of all race's that do badly and it just seems pointless trying to help one rather than the other and at the expense of tax payer's money. I don't understand why this group cant be open to everyone? Surely the governments aim to get as many people as possible back into work?

Hold on a cotton picking minute! Read the leaflet, it is from Leeds in North Yorkshire. It has nothing to do with affirmative action or Obama.

The unfairness is the disproportionate levels of unemployment and not the government's attempt at undoing damage imposed on minority communities by the majority.
