I asked a few more questions and found out that all the women (any colour) and the men (brown/black/yellow etc) in the room had done these mock exams except for the honky males.
Again, ask yourself why that might be? Is it because of some massive conspiracy against white men? I agree it's probably a daft way of doing it but it's presumably an attempt to reverse minorities being under-represented.
They do a similar thing with guaranteed interviews for people with disabilities in some places – it's because statistics show disabled people are often overlooked, even if they are perfectly capable of doing the job.
Rubbish their is no difference between me (a white male) and somone who is black, brown,yellow,fat,thin,male, female,disabled or able bodied. If anyone wants a job and they have any gumption about themselves they have the same chances.
