I've never experienced that, but I thought it was interesting how that playgroup made a big deal about how they wouldn't get funding if they let British people in, then a rep at the bottom flat out states that's not correct.

How are you supposed to integrate into a community if you don't socialise with anyone from that community? It sounds like it's more about having their own section of the community that they can keep separate. If they were interested in integrating, it would be an open group.

It reminds me of when I worked for a blind labor relations expert years ago. To be eligible for government contracts they had to have so many minorities in their numbers so they literally let white men with more seniority go first before minorities and women because they had to have certain percentages. I mean some of these men had been working for Kaiser Aluminimum for over 20 years and they were let go first. Discrimination is discrimination!

Pretty stupid policy, doesn't help anyone.

Thought this might be a thread about Ungaretti or Mohammed Sceab when I saw the title lol
