Whites need not apply

BBC Recruiting New Broadcast Journalists -- But Whites Shouldn't Apply

Across the pond in England, the BBC posted a job listing offering “an exceptional and unique opportunity to train as a broadcast journalist…” BUT the year-long paid internship is “only open to candidates from a black, Asian or non-white ethnic minority background”.
Yes. You read that correctly.  Whites need not apply. Ironically this type of ad appears to harken back to the early days of the 1900’s when Irish immigrants were told they “need not apply” to jobs in New York City, but apparently this is okay in England in the year 2017.
