In particular, it is the [Equality] Act’s Public Sector Equality Duty and ‘positive action’ wheezes which have made it a vehicle for systematic discrimination against less politically favoured groups – whites and men. While the Act outlaws ‘positive discrimination’, where minorities are explicitly hired preferentially, it doesn’t outlaw ‘positive action’, where minority groups get special outreach programmes, which we’re supposed to think is fair and unobjectionable. But as those would-be airmen know, this is really a distinction without a difference. If you’re giving a leg-up to some groups to increase ‘diversity’, you’re not giving them to others. ‘Institutions should be held accountable for treating people fairly rather than hitting artificial demographic targets’, says James Orr, Reform’s new head of policy.
