If I was looking for a person in an engineering role I would rather hire a well qualified black Irish engineer than German with a degree in fine arts. That’s not PC rubbish or limp-risted liberalism, it’s simply the triumph of logic over bigotry.
He got it in one!I'm guessing it would probably come down to how they came across at interview
No it doesn't but that's not what Capt. Beaky said.I already said if they had the same experience etc etc!
I would hazard a guess that the vast majority of Irish employers would hire the Irish applicant.
Does that make them racist?
Purple, do you not know what 'empirical' means?Different nationalities have their strong and weak points. You allocate work in this way. It may not be 100% but, hey, it was not a voyage of discovery in humanities but purely empirical.
Purple, do you not know what 'empirical' means?
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/empirical But Old Mr. Webster, New Oxford, Longmans, New Cambridge, EB et al could explain it in a monosyllable - 'experience' ......... To me 'empirical' is what you get from experience. Not theory, EXPERIENCE. Do you hear me down there!Didn't see any skins down around Tower Hamlets on Dispatches. Did you?
Now please give this post back to the OP - am developing a slight headache.
Another paroxysmal rush to judgement!Lads, this thrad has descened into drivel. Capt Beaky is a wind up merchant and Purple has fallen for the bait. Let it go.

You might well be right.Lads, this thrad has descened into drivel. Capt Beaky is a wind up merchant and Purple has fallen for the bait. Let it go.
Where was the other one?Another paroxysmal rush to judgement!
.So “In my experience those blacks can’t be trusted” is a legitimate reason not to hire black people. In fact following your logic as long as a comment is prefaced with “In my experience” you can pretty much say what you like. Thankfully the law disagrees with you. ...........
Where's the other one? Jeez, you have two for the price of one in this post........... Capt Beaky is a wind up merchant and Purple has fallen for the bait. ......

If I had't read the earlier posts I would have assumed that you were quoting a poster by your use of quotation marks. So, is that's not a rush to judgement ......... by insinuation? Am merely trying to show from one of your posts as I don't need any more inverted Pharasees chasing me. However, if you've got the time to trawl through earlier posts - in an unbiased fashion - you'll know what I mean.
Not wanting to get embroiled further ......... lets say, if I had to pick 15 gaa football players under 16 years and, on the blind, had to choose from Kilkenny or Kerry ........ afraid I'd have to go for the latter. Kinda empirical, if you get my drift! If, on the other hand, I had to pick 15 gaa hurlers under 16, and the same conditions applied ....... then I'd choose the former. I could be totally wrong with the results but, the idea suggests that I had reason to follow my instinct. Was afraid to mention nationalities lest I appear racist. In advance I apologise to Kilkenny football aficionados (sorry about the 11 letter word Jim - Googling will explain) and Ditto for Kerry hurlers. In fact to anyone that gets miffed by my presumptions. And I apologise to myself for ever getting involved in this oneWhy not try answering the last few posts?
I'm trying to understand how pre-judging a race of people based on your experience doesn't just mean that your experience has made you racist and if you think it is OK for others to do the same.
