[QUOTE="The-PFO-Collector, post: 174451, member: 31663"] "Where it concerns the criminal justice system, I think there is a strong case for having a representative legal profession, but insofar as white-collar corporate law, I am not convinced that this is a necessity." " there is a stronger case for ethnic representation in criminal justice as opposed to corporate law. The reason for this is a no-brainer, one is concerned with the administration of justice for average civilians (who will vary across race, gender, etc), the other is purely about representing and advising multinational corporations with no legal personality." [B]It should be shocking, but unfortunately it is not... Bigots do and will always exist.[/B] You've just stated that (1) there is no place for ethnic diversity in commercial law and (2) they should instead enter the criminal justice system. If you cant see how all right minded people would take offence to that, then that's just as shocking... Its sad to think that one day you could (1) be on a diversity panel, (2) have an input in fair access initiatives (which you will of course destruct), or (3) be a commercial lawyer working with people from all around the world (who you clearly don't think should be there). Surely, what you are insinuating goes against all race relations acts and the SRA character suitability rules?! [/QUOTE]
