Is equality really fair?
Last Thursday the equalities minister, Harriet Harman, revealed her
plans to make it legal for firms and organisations such as the police
to discriminate in favour of female and ethnic minorities' job
candidates.
To some people that might seem like a sensible measure.
Last year, for instance, the Commission for Race and Equality found
that fourteen out of the fifteen selection/promotion schemes used by
the police authorities in England and Wales did not meet the required
standard.
In other words, they denied opportunities to Black and Asian
people when it came to a career in the police force.
