A Welsh MP yesterday claimed that the Armed Forces are failing to hit their "recruitment targets" because they are institutionally racist. Apparently, only 10,000 of the UK's 200,000 servicemen are from ethnic minorities.
Good. That's what I would expect. This is the British Armed Forces we're talking about. You have to be loyal to Britain and willing to defend Britain. I would argue that the reason we are only seeing 10,000 people of ethnic minority origin in the British Armed Forces is because only 10,000 of the total feel loyalty to this country over their own. Sad but true.
The real crime here is that we are introducing "targets" at all. Recruit the best people for the job; not the most foreign. Positive discrimination is BAD.
