Racism storm over £38,000 ‘Indians-only’ job advert
A racism inquiry was under way last night after a firm advertised a £38,000-a-year job for someone ‘preferably of Indian origin’.
The advert was placed on a popular recruitment website on behalf of a computer company based in Britain and India.
It stated: ‘Minimum six years of experience in IT . . . The person should be a UK citizen with security clearance from the UK Government. Preferably of Indian origin.’
The advert was removed last night from the website as the Equality and Human Rights Commission launched an investigation.
The wording was condemned by Conservative MP David Davies.
He said: ‘It is quite clearly racist. I call on the EHRC to show resolute action in dealing with cases of anti-British discrimination.’
The advert, for the Bristol-based post at technology company Torry Harris, was spotted by IT consultant Vince Silva of Chepstow, Gwent. rest here dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1258818/Racism-storm-38-000-Indians-job-ad.html
