Can anyone shed some light for me?

When you go to a Chinese restaurant the staff are usually all Chinese. Agreed? Agreed. When you go to an Italian restaurant, you see the same. Presumably the same for Indian, although I don't eat Indian, and for Greek, etc.

How do the restaurant owners get away with hiring only people of a certain nationality? Surely the law states that this is not acceptible?

The same question for acting.

Oh! I had no idea that law existed! Thanks, Vikram!

Have you come across that in your career?

The list of GOQs or GORs includes actors, models, personal welfare services and jobs involving work where food or drink is provided for which a person of a racial group is required for authenticity (eg a Chinese restaurant).

So does that mean that chippys and olde englishe tea rooms and that can exclude Chinese, Indian and Greek applicants?

Go on, surprise me with your answer.

That's the best cuss ever! Almost Thorn-esque in its two-part delivery.
