Job ads specifying race are not okay, according to common decency, but also, according to the UAE’s Ministry for Human Resources and Emiratisation.<\/p>\n

One job ad specifying ‘white ladies only’ made headlines on The National for its racism, while another post was shared on Reddit<\/a> about applicants ‘any nationality except African’.<\/p>\n

It poses more questions about the hiring company’s ethics, rather than the candidate’s abilities in most cases.<\/p>\n

And enough is enough.<\/p>\n

It’s almost become normalised here, the ability to pay people according to where they come from – or the colour of their skin<\/h3>\n

And it’s ridiculous. It’s not okay.<\/p>\n

Race in no way influences someone’s ability to do a job.<\/p>\n

It’s not acceptable to do so in other countries, and it’s not acceptable here.<\/p>\n

Businesses blatantly stating they want a ‘white lady only’ or ‘no Africans’ is outrageous.<\/p>\n

If you want to employ someone based on their language skills, then specify ‘fluent English speaker only’ or the relevant language.<\/p>\n

The ministry has made its stance on this kind of hiring practice – stating it’s prohibited, so it’s time businesses stop this blatant racism, and start hiring based on merit.<\/p>\n
