yeah there's not a massive shortage of middle aged, middle class white blokes in television, funnily enough

Not so many working class, though. Diversity is about background, too, not just skin deep

but don't let that get in the way of your dogwhistling "reverse racism"!

.@Mr_Fitzgerald it's a perfectly valid question, the ad leads one to believe "no we don't want whites applicants" @MartinDaubney @SamDiss

I posed a question, and didn't say it was "anti-white". I'm working at BBC 2moro/Mon, will ask them

come on, you heavily implied it was anti-white. look at your replies for who heard your whistle.

It got RT'ed by a few loons then it kicked off. That happens on here, in case you hadn't noticed

Hi Martin, as I'm sure you're genuinely more than aware; white people can apply for the role.

They're just encouraging applications from people of other backgrounds who, for various reasons, may not have applied.

Again, as I'm sure you were well aware of before you sent your scaremongering tweet.

It's not scaremongering, it's posing a valid question. It escalated quickly, mind...

You can apply, they just don't "want" you for that role

They want the best possible candidate for the role.

Even better lol: We want the best possible candidate, so someone not white, or if they are white then disabled

White people can still apply. They're just encouraging applications from people who, for whatever reason, may not have applied.

got to be a spoof...surely?
