James Bond cannot be white in real life, according to internship applications for the U.K.’s MI5, MI6, and GCHQ.
The British intelligence agencies have been accused of “overt racism” because their summer internship is open only to “ethnic minorities from economically deprived backgrounds.”
The ad says is open only to “black, black British, Asian or Asian British, Mixed-Heritage” or members of “other ethnic minority groups.” Candidates with white skin must be “other white” groups such as “Romany Gypsy, Scottish or Irish Travellers.” It also specifies class by saying that the applicants “must have grown up in a home where the main earner was either a tradesperson, a casual or service employee, or unemployed.”
What kind of bollocks!?
Conservative MP Chris Philp called this “morally wrong.”
“Yes we should actively encourage a wide range of applicants. But excluding people based on skin colour is racist. This criteria should be axed White youngsters can suffer disadvantage too.”
Relevant question: Why is being disadvantaged considered a virtue for a government spy?
Is it any wonder that young people no longer want to become international spies, according to a former MI6 agent. Why? Because they have “the desire to not make the world a worse place.”
