It is okay to give preferential treatment to increase representation, it is definitely NOT Okay to exclude certain groups entirely, which is what Woolworths has done. This is discrimination and doesn't allow a fair opportunity for white job applicants in positions where no suitable candidates from other races can be found.
I will definitely still boycott Woolworths regardless of their PR efforts, they are still wrong. If Ian Mohr really wants to prove a point, he should resign and replace his own position with an employee of Suitable Race requirements, then we can see hoe sincere he is about transformation and not just participating because it is a corporate governance requirement. |
