So, every person of ethnic minority or of the female gender got a pity job and all the white men got theirs on merit? Cute. |

I love Sara Cox. She should have had the breakfast show. All those years I put up with Chris bloody Evans and then we get.... Zoe Ball.

It's clear you have a problem with diversity, yes. And use such things to mock and ridicule women and people of colour as somehow less than their white male counterparts. We're well aware.

Something else that shouldn't happen is hiring based on legacy - if anyone but Ben Elton had written that crappy health and safety "comedy" from a few years back, it wouldn't be made. |

Just like how old white guys usually benefit from being hired based on their names. Neither things should happen, as both can result in someone getting a job they might not be right for. |

I was referring to the people LT points out as "jobs that don't go to the best person". I.e. a woman or person of colour I don't like therefore I'll take that as confirmation they were hired for their race and/or genitals and nothing else. Last edited by Marsh.; 04-12-2019 at 05:57 PM. |

Oh, it literally wasn't? Oh right, silly me, there was me thinking it was based on your opinions. I didn't realise it literally was based on who you literally think fit the role.

Well, it kind of does when the people who apparently have undeservedly been given jobs is based on your opinion of them, and they just happen to literally be a woman or POC and therefore literally got their job as a box tick.
Or are you saying you're objectively more equipped to hire people for broadcast television/radio? Last edited by Marsh.; 04-12-2019 at 06:15 PM. |

Sometimes people get jobs because they who-you-know their way in. That is undeserved. Sometimes people get jobs through nepotism. That is undeserved. Or a woman, a minority, an industry veteran, or the kid of someone famous will write a great script/perform a great audition/be really funny ... And get hired. That is deserved. |

Not really. Having a policy to raise racial/gender diversity doesn't equate to hiring any woman or POC that walks through the door. That's just plucking at an excuse so that any woman or POC that you don't like gets the "hired on their genetics not their talent" label. It's bullish*t.

Having more women and/or minorities isn't a good or bad thing. What matters is how good they are at their job. |

I never said it wasn't. You are assuming how good they are at their job does not come into it. You're showing your own colours with that one.
