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

Poor chap, I'm all triggered for him!

I mean it largely just generalized a group of women, and further, you're right, it enforces a stereotype.


not to mention the joke is also demeaning to news outlets with smaller channels.

Regardless, if we can prevent one rape, some good will have come out of this.

It's not even that. It's literally an internment thing specifically for non-whites.


Internship. Internment is what Donald Trump wants for nonwhites if he gets elected President.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Excuse me, can you not joke about internment? Many Japanese were interned during WWII in the USA, and I don't think it's funny to joke about it. Further, many Jews were interned in Nazi Germany before being ethnically cleansed. I feel this is inappropriate.

The social justice in this thread is strong.

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.

Knowing Gauthier, he'll probably make a Japanese Jew joke somewhere.
Humans are monsters, we will never change, we will always want to claw out the throats of those with a difference in opinion, we will never be in an age of peace because of our lust for war, poverty will continue to exist as long as monetary needs exist. We rape, enslave, and conquer with no regards to others. We live by the sword, and we will, justifiably, die by the sword.

Hope is for unrealistic idealists. Pessimism is your friend.
