after advertising for bar staff with ‘knowledge of British culture’



The owner of a Welsh bar in New York has been fined £1,600 for race discrimination after trying to hire staff with a 'knowledge of British culture'.

Ex-pat Michael Colbert, 54, was hauled up in front of a human rights commission after advertising for new staff with an interest in Britain.

The landlord placed a job advert for the Longbow - the only Welsh pub in the Big Apple - looking for bar tenders with a knowledge of the UK.

Just a tax on doing business. Cities are broke and look to bylaw enforcement to raise revenue.

How is that racist? Whenever someone drops the 'African American' label on hubby's friend, he replies in his annoyed British accent that he's never lived either place. Implying that 'knowledge of British culture' is a racial thing is racist in and of itself.
