	Racial Discrimination
		Remedies for racial discrimination are not only for racial discrimination or color prejudice in employment, nor for ethnic discrimination or race prejudice against racial or ethnic groups of people -remedies for racial discrimination exist equally e.g.
		Racial discrimination in law is not only about the racist who claiming cultural or colour or national or ethnic supremacy with disregard for race relations advocates racism and racial hatred against ethnic refugees or immigrants not of same race inciting prejudice for color or religion or belief.
		Nor is it unlawful racial discrimination where employment involves a requirement that one must be of a specific race and that requirement is a genuine occupational qualification -such as in relation to employing only fl actors to play, e.g., in Shakespeare's play 'Othello' the role of the fl character called so.

	Asia Pacific Regional EGM - What kind of positive measures?
		The rationale for positive discrimination should be built on the necessary reduction of limitations or restrictions on participation, where the key factor is equality in participation.
		Positive discrimination should focus on those areas where the limitation or restriction being addressed would otherwise preclude equalization of opportunities.
		Permanent positive measures should be restricted to the extent possible to those that are linked to the disability itself to avoid creating persons with disabilities as a different or "privileged" class.

	Positive action in employment
		Positive action by employers is one example; another is where it can be shown that discrimininating on racial grounds in employment is a genuine occupational requirement, or that a person being of a particular racial group is a genuine occupational qualification for a job.
		The Race Relations Act does not allow positive discrimination or affirmative action - in other words, an employer cannot try to change the balance of the workforce by selecting someone mainly because she or he is from a particular racial group.
		Positive action can also be taken by trade unions; by any organisation which provides training courses; and by education providers, who can take positive action by providing for special educational or training needs, such as special classes in English as a second language.

		Ch Insp Berry said that more should be done with "Positive Action", an existing scheme to encourage ethnic minorities to join, and progress within, police forces, before any change in the law.
		In areas where the ethnic minority population was high, being a member of a minority would be "an extra qualification" because recruits would understand the culture of the communities they served, he added.

	Discrimination is always Negative
		Positive Discrimination has obviously been invented in order to give a positive spin to those forms of discrimination which Leftists wanted to put in place or preserve -- while hypocritically continuing to claim that discrimination is evil in itself.
		Let us explore the logic of Positive Discrimination, using the example of Positive Discrimination against Non-Maoris in New Zealand in the area of Health.
		The reason is that the Government is motivated by political pressure from Labour Party Members of Parliament representing Maori seats (New Zealand has built-in racism, to the extent that some Parliamentary seats are voted for by Maoris only).
