A JOB advertisement in your paper (LET, July 16) contained a paragraph which read: "We are seeking to raise the representation of black and ethnic minority groups. Therefore applications are welcome only from people in these groups," with a reference to the Race Relations Act.
I have seen this type of advertisement several times now and am annoyed at the blatant racism displayed (regardless of whether or not it complies with the Race Relations Act).
I am not a bigot nor a racist, but have to ask would it be legal to advertise for white or European labour only?
