An advertisement in the UK for an information technology job has created a furore as specified that applicants should preferably be of Indian origin.
“Minimum six years of experience. The person should be a UK citizen with security clearance from the UK Government. Preferably of Indian origin,” said the advertisement for the Bristol-based job, with an annual salary of £38,000, on a jobs website.
The issue about anti British advertisement was raised by Monmouth MP, Mr David Davies, who belongs to the Conservative party and was in turn, informant by one of his constituents about the discriminatory wording of the job advert. Mr Davies, who was “outraged” by the advert, said: “It is quite clearly racist, in my opinion. I have reported it to the Equalities and Human Rights Commission in the hope for once that they might take action against something that discriminates against most British people.” The advert was removed by recruitment firm McGregor Boyall Associates after an executive said he had made a mistake.
