Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton, the new head of the RAF, said he "apologised unreservedly" to all those affected, including the former head of recruitment who was forced to resign rather than implement an order she believed - correctly - to breach equality legislation.
英国皇家空军新任司令、空军上将理查德·奈特顿爵士表示，他“毫无保留地向所有受影响的人道歉”，包括前征兵负责人，她被迫辞职，而不肯执行她认为确实违反平等立法的命令。

Despite the damning findings, the chief of the air staff said that none of the RAF's senior leadership, including his predecessor Air Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston, on whose watch this happened, would face any kind of sanction.
尽管调查结果令人震惊，但空军参谋长表示，英国皇家空军的任何高级领导层，包括他的前任空军上将迈克·威斯顿爵士，都不会受到任何制裁。

Instead, he blamed the debacle on legal advice that incorrectly said a push in 2020 and 2021 to fast-track ethnic minority and female recruits into training slots was positive action - which is a legal way to improve diversity - when it was actually positive discrimination, which is unlawful.
相反，他将这次失败归咎于法律建议，这些建议错误地将2020年和2021年推动少数民族和女性新兵快速进入培训岗位的努力称为积极行动——这是提高多样性的合法方式——但实际上是积极的歧视，这是非法的。

Yet he said the treatment of Group Captain Lizzy Nicholl, the then head of recruitment who raised the alarm about the unlawful activity and ended up losing her career, needed to be "looked at considerably".
然而，他表示，需要“认真审视”当时的招聘主管莉兹·尼科尔上校的处理方式。尼科尔对这一违法行为发出了警告，最终丢掉了自己的职业生涯。

他说，需要审查“为什么她被无视了，为什么她确实受到了那种压力。我不希望看到任何人迫于压力去做我们在英国皇家空军身上看到的事情。”

The admission marks a stunning U-turn by the RAF on a scandal first exposed last August by Sky News when it was revealed that Group Captain Nicholl had resigned after refusing to carry out an order to discriminate against white men.
这一承认标志着英国皇家空军对一桩丑闻的态度发生了惊人的180度大转弯。去年8月，《天空新闻》首次曝光了尼科尔上校因拒绝执行歧视白人男子的命令而辞职的丑闻。

Group Captain Nicholl, however, sought new legal advice in May and June 2022 that clearly said these activities were "contrary to the Equality Act 2010, which provided reasonable justification for the Former Group Captain R&S to state that acts of positive discrimination had taken place in RY20/21 [recruitment year 2020-21]".
然而，尼科尔上校在2022年5月和6月寻求新的法律建议，明确表示这些活动“违反了2010年平等法案，该法案为该名前招募和选拔上校声称在20/21年度（2020-21募兵年）发生了积极的歧视行为提供了合理的理由”。

I feel uncomfortable about diversity recruitment. White men are the majority of men in this country - preventing them from being able to make a living in their own country is wild, it makes no sense and encourages I'll feelings toward a community.
I am part of a minority community, and I feel uncomfortable about these. Best Get rid of racist staff and hire on merit.
That way the racists themselves can't use their position to create a institutional racism issue.
Sometimes, I feel as if these policies are indirectly enforced to stir up division amongst groups.
我对多元化招募感到不爽。白人男性在这个国家占大多数——阻止他们在自己的国家谋生是疯狂的，这是没有道理的，而且会刺激我对某个群体的情感。
我是少数族裔社区的一员，对此我感到不舒服。最好摆脱有种族歧视的成员，按照能力大小来招募。
这样一来，种族主义者自己就无法利用他们的身份来制造一个制度性的种族主义问题了。
有时，我觉得这些政策似乎是在间接地挑起群体之间的分裂。

The fact is by setting quotas or diversity %, you're just patronising and disabling the very groups yiure attempting to help, while doing massive harm to the country overall.
Look at the % of media representation in UK TV channels now. If you'd guessed that the British population was represented fairly, then there are times when less than 50% of the population is white and/or straight.
事实是，通过设定配额或多样性百分比，你只是在傲慢地对待和禁用你试图帮助的群体，同时对整个国家造成巨大伤害。
看看现在英国电视频道的媒体比例吧。如果你认为英国人口是被公平代表的，那么有时只有不到50%的人口是白人和/或异性恋。（译注：指少数群体的代表比例过高）

This has been going on for decades in this country. My ex was a fireman in the early 2000s and they were following this exact pattern for recruitment. I also remember going with a friend to the council offices after he became homeless and their exact words were ‘I’m sorry but we can’t help young healthy British men be rehomed’. Poor guy was only 18, this would have happened around 1998.

Stuff like this is why far-right sentiment is growing in the UK.
For years the left has screamed that discrimination against white men is a "far right racist conspiracy theory", and then of course it turns out to be true, therefore making the far right look credible and the left look like naive idiots at best and malicious liars at worst.

I mean I've seen companies have been doing this seen I entered the workforce in 2014.
It was done openly and advertised publicly.
The people who do it think their doing a good thing.
I remember arguing with a guy because in my sector there aren't many Asians.
He just couldn't understand why I didn't want more Asians in the sector.
But he also couldn't understand that I didn't give a shit about the number of Asians in X sector and it wouldn't make any real difference

他就是不明白为什么我不想让更多的亚洲裔进入这个行业。
但他也不能理解，我其实根本不在乎X部门有多少亚洲裔，并且有多少亚洲裔也不会造成什么真正的区别

I think two really important points that some people are missing below.
First, Goodharts Law, 'When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure'. It's not unreasonable to ask questions about race/sex disparities but when you set a target, even aside from unfairness and illegality, it's likely to have perverse consequences. So in the US affirmative action case - fewer than 50% of the black students who get into elite universities are born of black US parents (i.e. the group with the big structural disadvantage people are concerned about). The approach instead smooths the way e.g. recent Nigerian immigrants who don't share that background.
Second, in these discussions there's some naivety about what's 'allowed' and how relevant that is. People respond to incentives bounded only somewhat by rules (whether due to principle or fear of getting caught). So it's illegal to discriminate against a 30 year old woman on the grounds she might take maternity leave - but it's usually really hard to prove and if you're a small business owner incentivises by economic self interest you mighy. Similarly it's illegal to choose a worse qualified person because of their race - but it's usually really hard to prove.
If you are seriously concerned to stop these forms of discrimination, pretty much the only way is to remove the incentive (so in first case govt pays full cost of parental leave and/or mandates men and women get samr amount, which I think is done in some Scandinavian countries; in second case not using crude 'pay gaps' etc that drive perverse incentives)
我认为有些人忽略了两个非常重要的点。
首先是古德哈特定律，“当一项措施成为目标时，它就不再是一项好措施了”。提出关于种族/性别差异的问题并不是不合理的，但当你设定了一个目标时，即使不考虑不公平和不合法，也很可能产生反常的后果。因此，在美国平权法案的案例中，进入精英大学的黑人学生中，只有不到50%的人出生于美国黑人父母（即人们所关注的具有巨大结构性劣势的群体）。相反，这种方法为那些没有相同背景的尼日利亚新移民铺平了道路。
其次，在这些讨论中，关于什么是“允许的”以及它的相关性有些天真。人们对激励的反应只在一定程度上受到规则的限制（无论是出于原则还是害怕被抓到）。因此，以一个30岁的女人“可能休产假”为由歧视她是非法的——但这通常很难证明，如果你是一个小企业主，你可能会受到经济利益的激励。同样，因为种族而选择资质较差的人也是违法的——但这通常很难证明。
如果你真的想阻止这些形式的歧视，唯一的方法就是消除这种激励（所以在第一种情况下，政府支付育儿假的全部费用和/或规定男性和女性获得相同的产假，我认为在一些斯堪的纳维亚国家就是这样做的；第二种情况是，不要使用粗犷的“薪酬差距”等等，这会带来不正当的激励。）

People respond to incentives bounded only somewhat by rules (whether due to principle or fear of getting caught). So it's illegal to discriminate against a 30 year old woman on the grounds she might take maternity leave - but it's usually really hard to prove and if you're a small business owner incentivises by economic self interest you mighy. Similarly it's illegal to choose a worse qualified person because of their race - but it's usually really hard to prove.
If you are seriously concerned to stop these forms of discrimination, pretty much the only way is to remove the incentive (so in first case govt pays full cost of parental leave and/or mandates men and women get samr amount, which I think is done in some Scandinavian countries; in second case not using crude 'pay gaps' etc that drive perverse incentives)
我认为有些人忽略了两个非常重要的点。
首先是古德哈特定律，“当一项措施成为目标时，它就不再是一项好措施了”。提出关于种族/性别差异的问题并不是不合理的，但当你设定了一个目标时，即使不考虑不公平和不合法，也很可能产生反常的后果。因此，在美国平权法案的案例中，进入精英大学的黑人学生中，只有不到50%的人出生于美国黑人父母（即人们所关注的具有巨大结构性劣势的群体）。相反，这种方法为那些没有相同背景的尼日利亚新移民铺平了道路。
其次，在这些讨论中，关于什么是“允许的”以及它的相关性有些天真。人们对激励的反应只在一定程度上受到规则的限制（无论是出于原则还是害怕被抓到）。因此，以一个30岁的女人“可能休产假”为由歧视她是非法的——但这通常很难证明，如果你是一个小企业主，你可能会受到经济利益的激励。同样，因为种族而选择资质较差的人也是违法的——但这通常很难证明。
如果你真的想阻止这些形式的歧视，唯一的方法就是消除这种激励（所以在第一种情况下，政府支付育儿假的全部费用和/或规定男性和女性获得相同的产假，我认为在一些斯堪的纳维亚国家就是这样做的；第二种情况是，不要使用粗犷的“薪酬差距”等等，这会带来不正当的激励。）

Oh boy I can't wait for the idealogues to use this policy error as a justification for their hair brained personal beliefs they got from YouTube.
哦，天哪，我等不及理想主义者用这个政策错误来为他们从YouTube上得到的愚蠢的个人信仰辩护了。

How many times is this story going to keep getting recycled?
So many more important problems to address, yet we’re obsessed with race relations.
This country is broken and to be frank we deserve it.
这个故事还会被重复讲多少次？
有那么多更重要的问题需要解决，而我们却痴迷于种族关系。
这个国家已经支离破碎，并且坦白说，我们活该。

So many more important problems to address, yet we’re obsessed with race relations.
There is so much wrong with this sentence that I don't know where to begin.
Firstly, if you look at racism from the lenses of 'race relations', then you are looking at it completely wrong. Ethnic minorities are the victims of systemic racist societal structures, and thus are the victims. You wouldn't look at the justice system as 'victim-criminal relations', so why would you look at racism through the lens of 'race relations'?
Secondly, racism is a very serious issue. To claim that it isn't would imply that the rights of ethnic minorities don't matter as much as the rights of white people, which in itself is racist.
“有那么多更重要的问题需要解决，而我们却痴迷于种族关系”
这句话错得太多了，我都不知道从哪里开始纠正了。
首先，如果你从“种族关系”的角度来看待种族主义，那么你就完全错了。少数族裔是系统性种族主义社会结构的受害者，因此他们是受害者。既然你不会把司法系统看作“受害者与罪犯的关系”，那么你为什么要通过“种族关系”的视角来看待种族主义呢？
其次，种族主义是一个非常严重的问题。声称它不是，是在暗示少数族裔的权利不如白人的权利重要，而这本身就是种族主义。

I can sort of understand applying positive discrimination to other jobs, like office work, public sector jobs etc, but doing it for the armed forces is bonkers.
It shouldn’t matter what race or gender you are when you’re job is defend the realm and potentially die in doing so. You want the best people who are willing to volunteer their lives.
It’s especially stupid to discriminate against the biggest talent pool available to the forces (white males), whom historically are exactly what the forces need. They’ve chastised the most likely recruits and it wouldn’t surprise me to see RAF recruitment numbers drop in the next few years
我有点理解将积极歧视应用于其他工作岗位，比如办公室工作、公共部门工作等等，但在军队中这样做是疯狂的。
当你的工作是保卫王国，并可能因此丧命时，你是什么种族或性别都不重要。你需要的是愿意献出自己生命的最优秀的人。
歧视军队最大的人才库（白人男性）是特别愚蠢的，从历史上看，他们正是军队所需要的。他们已经（通过报道中的违法行为）惩罚了最有可能的新兵，我不会惊讶地看到英国皇家空军的新兵数量在接下来的几年里下降

This is a major issue across all industries. I understand where it's coming from and it's commendable but now we're in a situation where white = bad. I've sat in board meeting hearing how we must hire people of X,Y, Z instead of the most appropriate candidate. I've seen it time and time again and it fucking infuriates me.
This woke bullshit needs to end
这是所有行业的一个主要问题。我明白这是怎么来的，这也是值得赞扬的，但现在我们的情况是，白人 = 坏。我曾在董事会上听到我们必须雇用某某人，某某人，某某人，而不是最合适的人选。我一次又一次地看到这种情况，这tmd激怒了我。
这扯淡的矫枉过正该结束了

This exact thing happened to me 6 years ago when I applied for the police. I posted about it here on Reddit.
I was literally denied a job in the police because I wasn't from a BAME background. Disgusting.
I am glad this discrimination is being seen now for what it really is.
六年前当我申请当警察的时候，同样的事情也发生在我身上。我把经历贴在了红迪上。
我被拒绝了一份警察工作，因为我没有“面临种族歧视”的背景。真恶心。
我很高兴这种歧视现在被人们看出了它的本质。

Who wants this? Who demands it? Where is this ridiculous concerted effort across society to advocate for racism against whites and sexism against men ultimately coming from?
谁想要这个？是谁要求的？这种荒谬的全社会共同倡导针对白人的种族主义和针对男性的性别歧视的努力到底是从哪里来的？

I can see why the RAF did this when they’re majority white male, unproportionate to society. And there’s literally no black or asian pilots.
I wouldn’t say it’s racism against whites. It’s ensuring the organisation reflects its society. It’s wrong to say no black or asian person could do the job, when they do for airlines.
我明白为什么英国皇家空军这样做，因为他们大部分是白人男性，与社会的种族比例不相符。而且根本没有黑人或亚裔飞行员。
我不会说这是对白人的种族歧视。它正在确保这个组织能反映社会的种族构成。当黑人或亚洲裔在为航空公司工作时，说他们不能胜任这份（空军飞行员）工作是错误的。

It's literally, unambiguously racism against whites. I don't know how anyone could sincerely look at this and claim otherwise.
毫无疑问，这就是针对白人的种族主义。我不知道怎么会有人真诚地看待这一点，却声称不是这样。

The most disadvantaged group in the UK are working class white men.
The UK doesn't have a race problem, it has a class problem.
英国最弱势的群体是白人工人阶级。
英国没有种族问题，有的是阶级问题。
