Lots of different points there..
Sec 13 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/section/13
covers the disability etc.
I deliberately didn't pick disability examples, previously because they are exempt.
So back to the discrimination part. A white Male / female is considered less favourably as they can only be considered if they are from a disadvantaged socio-economic background. A black male /female does not need to tick this box. It is therefore discriminatory.
not disadvantaged and BAME - your in
not disadvantaged and white - no chance
socio-economic discrimination is not unlawful.
No thats an operational exemption/legitimate goal.
You cannot have a legitimate goal of excluding white people because you want more BAMES.
if in doubt - blame the lawyers
