BBC Discrimination Against White People?

I encourage you to look at the webpage before voting:

At first it seems like a normal internship application form. Until you get to the bottom in which it reads

Application Form
All roles advertised through Creative Access are only open to UK nationals from a black, Asian or non-white ethnic minority.
Only applications via Creative Access will be considered – please DO NOT contact companies directly.
To apply for the above opportunity, you MUST REGISTER HERE and then complete the form below.

Is this a sign of discrimination against white people in the BBC?

EDIT: People are assuming I'm automatically calling BBC out for discrimination, which I am not. I'm simply asking for your side on the subject.

Please do not turn this into a war in the comments. Thank you.

**MAJOR EDIT: They have since deleted the page.

Depends. Is there a systemic attempt to force white people out of various roles?

I hope posting a thread after you cant get an internship/job doesn't become a trend.

Seems like it.

If you're closing off a position to white people, then yes.

Also, fix your poll.

Simply assuming something such as this for no other reason, is illogical.

I'm simply asking whether it is discrimination or not.

The site is specifically for minorities.

What is the problem? I will fix it.

why only specifically for minorities?

[House of Judah]

Creative Access is an organization that helps minority students find internships and other training opportunities. Creative Access is not a BBC program. They do however provide intern opportunities through a number of different programs, including Creative Access. Internship opportunities for non-minorities are available at the BBC through other programs, this one is specifically reserved for minority students.

In other words, find a different program and get back to it. NEXT!

I wonder if Jews can get this position?

Actually, it'd be worthwhile for white people to start claiming they're ethnic minority, and then suing the shit out of the BBC for discrimination.

You know that actually might work.

a Pole can probably do it since they are an ethnic minority.

why only specifically for minorities?

Pretty much says exactly why on its website.

[Liriena]

Eh, I'm going to go with 'nope, the BBC is not discriminating against white people'. Creative Access is not the only pathway to employment at the BBC. In fact, last I checked, the BBC provided internships without any sort of restrictions to application through its own website.

[Hardknock]

Only if it is perpetrated by white people.
You cannot discriminate against white people.

Like, in the first paragraph of their About Us section:

Creative Access was founded in 2012 to provide opportunities for paid internships in the creative industries for young people of graduate (or equivalent standard) from under-represented black, Asian and other non-white minority ethnic backgrounds (BAME). We aim to improve their chances of securing full-time jobs and, in the longer term, increase diversity and address the imbalance in the sector.

[Ragnarum]

I'm simply asking whether it is discrimination or not.

Only if it is by white people. You cannot discriminate against white people.

[The balkens]

I think he was being sarcastic.

Hopefully.

Stop being so racist against white people. Can't you see how oppressed OP is?

One of those situations where the time it takes to answer the question may actually be less than the time it takes to type up the question.

But this probably is perpetrated by white people.

[Gauthier]

Obviously it's discriminating against whites... They see how even white women prefer BBC.

White people discriminating against themselves. It's funny if you think about it.

Not that that'll stop the opportunistic outrage against those damn minorities takin' our jerbs benefits internships.

Oh sweet Jesus that was bad.
