I know of a few (unrelated) folk who have applied for technical jobs in the bbc - both tv and local radio. All these guy's are top-notch at what the do technically. The have ALL failed to get a job at one time or other with the bbc. They are also all white. Ok my sample size is not large but this observation is genuine and taken place over several years. In fact not one of them has even gotten an interview with this outfit - which is remarkable. The latest occurrence of this phenomenon took place only last week and apparently and the bbc are "unable to provide any feedback as the application". Mmmm. I just wonder if the bbc IS institutionally racist against white people?. I know a few dozen people who definitely think it is - and these people are not the type to shout sour-grapes for no reason.
