Hideously Black?

Should Blacks and Asians be stereotyped as "doctors, lawyers and architects" in Britain's most popular television programmes!?!

Are Equality and Diversity officers "too black"!?!

would these TV series/programs be saleable outside England if they were politically correct?

Phillips only got the job because he is a mate of Blair's....... and is of course, Black.

I applied for the job when the previous head - an Indian bloke got pissed at an England v India cricket match (he was supporting India, natch) and started to attack a copper, 'stood down for personal reasons', (and the hernia he acquired when trying to carry home his obscene pay off..

I rung them up and said I would like an application form - I told them I was academically probably more qualified than Trev' - and I didn't know Tony Blair - so surely that would count in my favour. I also asked them whether the fact that I was white would bar me from the job...

As she was having trouble answering that question, I asked whether there had been ANY previous white heads of the Equality Commission - because surely an Equality organisation must be... 'equal'?

They put the phone down.

Anonymous, I imagine they realise that accountancy is a dead-end profession and become lawyers instead!
