When Diversity Becomes Discrimination: The Hidden Cost of Identity Quotas in British Institutions

 

The push for diversity in Britain’s public sector has reached a critical tipping point, with accusations that anti-white racism has become just as embedded as trans rights advocacy. In the pursuit of inclusion, vital institutions like the NHS, the police, and the Armed Forces are accused of abandoning merit in favour of identity—at great cost to efficiency, safety, and public trust.

 

A hospital consultant, Amir, shared his dismay about diversity-based hiring practices in the NHS. According to him, British-trained doctors and nurses are increasingly passed over in favour of less qualified overseas candidates, simply to meet diversity quotas. He reflects on how difficult it was to gain entry into medical school in India 25 years ago, saying, “Indian doctors were the best of the best.” But today, he claims, places can be bought.

 

“Everything has a price tag,” he explains. “Not just undergraduate degrees; postgraduate degrees as well.”

 

When Amir was asked for his reaction to reports that NHS trusts were rigging interview shortlists to favour ethnic minority candidates, he replied with unfiltered frustration: “Utter despair, total disaster. Driven by woke managers, consultants have no input into the selection process. Command of the English language no longer a prerequisite.” That statement alone should alarm anyone who values patient safety.

 

 

The road to becoming a doctor in the UK is long and grueling. Students must earn top A-level grades and endure years of rigorous training. Yet, some of the best are finding that their hard-earned qualifications aren’t enough—especially if they are white or privately educated. The result? Highly trained British doctors are heading abroad, with countries like Australia benefiting from our loss.

 

Medical negligence claims against the NHS reached a staggering £2.8 billion in 2023–24, up £180 million from the previous year. In this context, hiring the best candidates should be an obvious priority. But the influence of “race-based hiring policies” seems to trump all else, driven by what some call a performative DEI culture. Amir notes that “ignorance and incompetence need be no drawback for candidates who have the correct ethnicity.”

 

A friend in finance jokes that her own children—well-educated and white—would be last in line for graduate training roles. Her most recent intern, she admits, was appallingly unfit for client-facing work, but ticked the right boxes for inclusion. Meanwhile, a police recruitment process left one gifted young woman so disillusioned by its focus on diversity that she quit before she even got started.

 

These policies aren’t limited to hospitals and offices. The RAF’s diversity initiative famously backfired when it couldn’t find enough capable pilots and had to recall previously rejected applicants—many of them white men. A recent Army advert showed a Muslim soldier praying during manoeuvres, while others looked on approvingly. “I thought it was a spoof at first,” the writer remarks, questioning whether this image might deter those who simply want to serve their country.

 

Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire, recently dismissed reports that white applicants had been blocked from applying to the police, calling them “incredibly misleading.” Yet in 2023, Chief Constable John Robins supported positive discrimination, stating that candidates from under-represented groups should “move forward” ahead of their white counterparts. The rationale? “Systemic issues around applications.”

 

For critics, this isn’t just misguided policy—it’s dangerous. Discriminating against white candidates in roles that involve life-and-death responsibilities, like medicine or national security, could be seen as treasonous. Yet, HR departments across the UK are allegedly empowered by the Equality Act 2010 to apply “positive action,” with devastating results. As one former senior police officer described the policy: “idiotic.”

 

This madness, as Amir describes it, ultimately demoralizes white British candidates and insults capable minority professionals who earned their place on merit. While he praises some “top of the class” radiologists from India, he remains uneasy about others who secured places via family wealth.

 

The silence surrounding these policies is eerily similar to the way trans rights activism spread, where objecting became taboo. Even as Health Secretary Wes Streeting criticized “misguided” DEI programs that promoted “anti-whiteness,” the NHS continues to endorse strategies like the Rooney Rule—imported from American football—where ethnic minorities must be shortlisted for interviews regardless of qualifications.

 

The ultimate question is not whether diversity should be celebrated—it should. But when inclusion becomes exclusion, when merit is sacrificed at the altar of identity, everyone pays the price. As the article wryly concludes, “I don’t fancy Crispin Good-Chap’s chances if he’s up against a non-binary, blue-haired person who identifies as a brain surgeon, do you?”

This, if true, in hospitals has got be extremely dangerous, imagine a doctor not being able to speak English, how can he/she communicate with the patient, or the nurses????

[JimHuaHin]

Shock, horror, disgusting!!!

 

On the other hand, having been born in a former British colony, and thus knowing how the British treated the local indigenous population, all I can say is - karma can be a bitch sometimes.

Diversity-based hiring .

Will lower the bar in the work place.

Time to stop this madness.

Boatloads' of diversity arrives daily mainly Doctors and Engineers with a handful rapists, murders, and terrorists who just want to enrich us 🤔

Well, many of the patients, nurses, and doctors don't speak English as well, so no problem there...

Language shwamguage.

 

Everyone knows your gender identity, minority status, race and religion is much more important than being able to actually communicate with patients in modern British healthcare. 

 

They only need to learn one sentence anyway. "No appointments this month, you might get a Zoom appointment next month".

Isn't that what we face here in Thailand too ?

Not a deflection here and yes it is dangerous not being able to understand the doctors/nurses.

Ouch...  🤦‍♂️

 

"Hi Mr White man.  I know we rejected you because everyone thinks that White men are bad now, and we wanted to hire a non-White person based on their race, rather than their ability, but we didn't realise just how awful they would be.  We've changed our minds now and we want you to come and dig us out of this hole we have dug for ourselves."

 

Talk about microcosm...

[Hanaguma]

The biggest tragedy will be that an "ethnic" person who is NOT a diversity hire, but rather is hired on their merits, will be taken as one.

Correct, and add continual exams that must be passed during their medical degree studies, training assessments that must be passed and a medical license that will not be issued unless the applicant had passed all exams and training

Why should it?  For what purpose?  The whole article is based around lesser outcomes due to diversity hiring and then says it should be celebrated.   If my football team was 100% black and they won the league I'd celebrate it.  I would do the same if they were 100% white.  The colour of someones skin is their least important characteristic and I cannot believe we have fallen so far backwards from virtually eradicating racism in the early 2000s to the racism we have today.  There is nothing to celebrate about this.  Absolutely shameful.

The article is unclear on one point. It stated that people need an A grade to become a doctor but nowhere does it categorically state that coloured people are becoming doctors with a C grade.

If they have A grades then what is the problem?

It’s left for the fetid imagination of their target audience to make the pejorative assumption.

 

Just as it is with this statement:

Absolutely no evidence that the increase in negligence claims has anything at all to do with who’s hired but the suggestion it is seeded into the minds of those eager to believe it is.

To show the world that you aren't a racist and actually like non-White people more than other people do. 

 

It's textbook virtue signalling.

The article seems to imply that the "A grade" people coming from abroad aren't as good as the home-grown "A grade" people, either through poor quality education or corruption.

As you rightly said above, ‘the article implies’, it does a lot of implying while providing no ‘apparently available facts’ to substantiate what the article ‘implies’.

 

I’ve given an example above. 
 

The ‘fact’ of increased litigation is not an indication of any issues with recruitment, other causes, such as society becoming increasingly litigious might be a cause.

 

So yes you’re correct, ‘implies’ and ‘apparently available facts’ but not actual evidence, nothing that can be actually examined as cause and effect.

Though it plays well to some.

Not lying, but the author is definitely disingenuous in their discussion of the subject.

It implies it because its based on facts, known for many years, yet you as usual attack the messenger for being disingenuous.

 

Poorer ratings for hospitals with more overseas nurses
A study of 46 NHS hospitals has found that those with a higher number of nurses trained overseas have poorer ratings from patients.

Essentially the UK under it's, ironically, white elites who seem to share a rather dystopian vision wherein the UK becomes predominately a haven for "people of color" from third-world countries in the name of diversity.  And then when any of the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic "white" natives, especially if these people are professed Christians, of the UK raise a voice in protest of policies which are becoming extreme forms of anti-white discrimination, yes, raise your voice in protest and be imprisoned for "hate crimes."  It seems like a  game to these elites from places like Oxford who come from "old money" and are bestowed titles like "Sir" and "Lord."  The new game in town is to make the historic citizens of the UK into a maligned sub-class which becomes the focus for all manner of fabricated "crimes" and also are deliberately targeted in government sponsored discriminatory acts, reverse-racism as it were. It's a sick game. Orwell and Huxley visions of the future were a fiction based warming, but now it seems to have become a template to directed oppression toward those who ancestry in the British Isles goes back millennia. They are now targeted for erasure.

I absolutely do not dispute the existence of racism within the sphere of health service provision, it is a problem for the NHS and those that work in the NHS.

“The survey [of 77,000 NHS Staff , 220,501 nurses and midwives across 263 NHS organisations] revealed that 14% of nurses and midwives had experienced discrimination at work by the public – the highest level recorded since the question was first asked in 2019.”

Was at the bus station at Heathrow on Wednesday for and hour or so. The man doing the announcements sounded African and his accent was so thick I could only understand about one in three words, how did he get a job announcing departures and stops if his Englsih is so bad? This is England not Somalia.

I take it you do not dispute this also?

 

Foreign-trained medical professionals in the UK may face challenges in navigating the NHS, including communication barriers, cultural differences, and unfamiliarity with the system, potentially leading to misdiagnosis or errors. These challenges can affect patient safety and overall quality of care.
