Not at all:..."so the MET will be racist"<br /><br />Not at all: this is not, of course, "racism" since the beneficiaries are not white, it's positive discrimination.<br /><br />From my (very) limited knowledge of how the police promotion system works, anyone who is sufficiently motivated to do so will not find the <i>academic</i> hurdles placed in the way of promotion (eg quizzes on law, box ticking tests, etc etc) insuperable. But I fear that it's just these tests - simple though they appear to outsiders - that result in "discrimination" against those who are incapable of passing them and yet wish to be promoted nevertheless.Umbongonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-19482389322952374792010-07-08T13:19:27.436+01:002010-07-08T13:19:27.436+01:00"fast-tracking minority police community supp...<i>"fast-tracking minority police community support officers"</i><br /><br />...so the MET <b>will</b> be racist?DerekPnoreply@blogger.com
