You can even see that racist attitude in the comments as well. Personal experience: if your name does not sound white British, around 70 percent of employers pretend like they've never received your cv!

then young black people should all be obsessed with learning skills to create jobs not just sit in someone's office waiting to be employed.....

I have a 2:1 degree. I graduated in 2019. The only job ive had is in a shop over Christmas. Ive been on UC for 2 years. In that time I've applied for over 100 jobs and got 4 replies. I have a white sounding name and I am white. That hasnt made my job hunt any easier. I don't doubt there are prejudices and pre judgements based on skin colour which mean it is easier for me to get my foot in. That doesnt mean the door opens. Reducing everything to race isn't constructive.

They say if a black family moves in next door it will take £50.000 of your house .Lots of strange stuff going on

Plenty of jobs doing TV commercials.

Whenever they need pulling on something it will be "this is because I'm black gay and lazy init fam?"

I once got told they thought I was white because of my name. I’ve also worked at a university and been approached by a staff member that I need to leave the community hallway because I’m making people feel uncomfortable when they pass me. I told HR and as soon as they found out that I was an agency worker, they stopped looking into the case.

Go to Africa. You’ll get a job there.

Amazing content thank you

Imagine being a young, black Muslim female...

More African Americans of any age would be working if in every profession, they didn't need to navigate and overcome so much bias. In the past, systemic racism was pervasive and it was made legal by the United States government. Some would argue the remnants of systemic racism are still a challenge, but thankfully many racist laws have been repealed since the Civil Rights Act. However, that didn't stop individual bias, which is now the current fight against racism. In my two industries, for example, which are education and real estate, bias runs rampant. The vast majority of America's homebuyers and sellers are white, and they only hire white realtors. Many black realtors, and black realtors in particular, are avoided by the nation's buyers and sellers.This results in a high turnover of black agents being forced to leave the real estate industry, because they aren't being hired as often as white real estate agents. In education, the vast majority of principals who interview teachers for teaching positions at their schools are white females. In my 20 years in education, I've noticed there is a preference for white females, because the principals are white females. Far too often, principals will choose teachers who remind them of themselves, especially in affluent communities where public schools tend to be better supported and teachers get paid more. Affluent neighborhoods is where you will see a high concentration of white female educators and hardly any black educators with classrooms. The black educators are all concentrated in the worst schools in America, because those are the only schools that give black educators opportunities to teach. Not every black person is equipped with the skills necessary to navigate bias. Many people now assume racism is over, so they don't prepare their children for bias, especially bias that is difficult to prove. After many years of trying to get accepted, some black job applicants (with college degrees) might give up out of frustration because they are either unaware they're being discriminated against or they know it, but it would difficult to prove and too complicated to address with certainty. To rid ourselves of bias that prevents people from having a decent job, people everywhere must realize accepting differences in the workplace isn't limited to accepting different skin colors. That is minimal acceptance. You are not truly being accepting of others in the workplace if the people you accept are brown, but they must also talk like you, be like you, and remind you of people you already know. Remember, there are different ways of being, which you must also accept.

Maybe because employers want to avoid accusations over racism? Cause and effect, I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying it's how it is.

Interesting. There’s a belief that this is only an issue in America. These young people with their degrees & credentials proved otherwise.

a lot of people in UK do laugh when black people say "its because am black" The truth is there's racism in UK but its not obvious For example we all learn about equality in schools, colleges and universities but when it comes to employment its a whole different world I understand when some people laugh and say "I can't believe they've used the race card" and think that's because of the fear that our country be labelled as racist country The employment system helps the employer to pick and chose who to hire and who to relief from positions And yes there's many cases of favouritism that happens on regular basis unfortunately No one likes racism but it does exist sadly 8n different forms 😔

Is it maybe just not the case that the best qualified person got the job? I have met many people of colour. Many of them have very good very well paid jobs.

These comments kinda prove their point, no?

I think that British black job seekers are better off living; and working in the United States because there are plenty of job opportunities.

I am British Chinese and here are my views! I used to blame almost everything on everyone when issues arise. Now, I am more self critical in why I am not getting full time employment. There is racism in this country for sure, not just against blacks, but Asians too, even before the pandemic. Generally speaking even though East Asians are successful career wise. We are the LEAST socially integrated group. In terms of finding a job in the UK, even a cleaning job requires work experience and a DBS check. In China, the government is trying to get people employed by allocating places for working class people to say. However, the wages are lower in China than the UK. Second of all, I used to have a bad sleeping habit, that means energy levels at work ain't stable. Would an employer want to hire someone who is tired all the time? The answer is NO. Third of all, I didn't understand the system. Nearly all jobs advertised saying NO EXPERIENCE, I bet they want previous work references. Where are you going to get this if it is your 1st time? Some of my peers have work with NO qualifications, because they have started at a young age. Once again if I compare this with China, in China they value academic qualifications MORE, even for menial jobs. Fourthly, the law is so strict here! Even if you have all legal documents, they can't hire somebody with no previous job references. This will mean that there will ALWAYS be a division. Finally, I am scared of the social media rule. I used to make videos in English, but I am scared that this will jeopardise my job opportunities so I only make videos in Mandarin now. Wish you guys all the best!

It’ll never be enough. Multiracialism is very bad idea

I am white, male, and getting old, with a Masters degree, and in the same position

:It seems as though no one in society thinks about the ones fallen in the unemployment trap . It's a battle . Why aren't school kids taught on how to correctly land a job ? It’s such an urgent issue.

Keep on beating this drum... see how it’s gonna work our for you.

I’m currently watching this and unemployed 😢 yes I’m a Chicago resident. A Well paying job seems so hard to get.

I wonder how many have come to the UK unemployed?

I felt like that with my headscarf all I was thinking was they thinking that she is a Muslim don't employ i had rejects are the time. Then after training my skills 6 years after going to jobcentre was offered a job from my old asain employer how accepted me straight away. Now I am working 3 years and met people from all backgrounds shows that majority employer have racist thinking of a employing a person different then them.

Imagine if they were 3x less useful. Couldn't report those findings, no matter how much evidence came up.

Very sad to hear that.but have reasons to diside this.every vere visiting this people.

If you don't want to fight for jobs, make your own. Set up your own business... I did it in 2020 (possibly the worst time since ww2) and it's working out. If I can do it so can you. I think people of all races need to accept the fact jobs are becoming more difficult to get and you can't expect the world to bend for YOU. Stop complaining and put the energy into something you CAN control.

Are Britain’s unemployed blacks receiving job seekers allowances; and is it enough money for the rent; and groceries?

Are young black people also 3 times more likely to be working class?

This is tragic. I have never met a person who is not talented or skilled in something. We should be studying & learning about the subjects we are most passionate & thus able to master - as well as become experienced in as many areas as possible. Instead, we are forced to submit to this barbaric & quite frankly outdated system of wage-slavery, Last-Stage Capitalism, & Environmental Suicide to merely repeat a few actions over & over again - to keep psychopaths in charge. Anyone on my wavelength yet? Speak out man! *"We live in a world where our social system is old, our language is old, the way we acquire goods and services is outdated, our cities are detrimental to our health, chaotic and a tremendous waste of resource, and most of all our politics and values no longer serve us."* ~ Jacque Fresco

We are not owed a job

Telling employers they are racist isn't going to get you a job, you are less likely. Don't insult prospective employers and you might get somewhere

Absolutely no excuse for this they all had full employment as chauffeurs gardeners house girls house boys they make wonderful domestic staff . They are the ones who have ostracised themselves from the job market

Facts ...

wonder why asians don't have this issue

I like the young black woman thought she was fit.

Everybody in the UK looks so first generation I like it, here in America immigrants look like space aliens mutating into skinwalkers it's very scary but 🔥

Maybe it's the attitude?

I know job hunting is tough for everyone regardless of race,but think about it. Why are some there job descriptions that has to say the they welcome BAME applicants, or they welcome people of all backgrounds?.And why are there job descriptions that don't do that? Why are there lot's of offices where the majority are white and you only see a very small number of non-white employees? It takes a lot of humility and courage to say that there is a racism problem. Yes, it is the employer's fault. Yes, they can do something about it. And yes, the black job seekers have every right to complain.

I like how it's considered racist to feel you have to dress & speak a certain way at interviews, I'm white & also feel the sane thing. It's normal at most large employers that you're expected to look smart (shirt/blouse & trousers) & speak professionally. White people are expected to 'assimilate' into the company's culture too. I'm not saying racism doesn't happen, but this isn't it.

To those who are saying they are white and can't get jobs, you have not mentioned whether you have any qualifications. White working class usually are in family business and trades. They can't get good jobs due to lack of education, but they are more connected and often quite wealthy, compared to black working class, who have to get jobs to get anywhere. But being educated does not guarantee a job. But there are companies which would deliberately hire less qualified black women despite qualified white men. That's also so wrong. Positive discrimination is unfair.

White Young Women have the same problem in the Gambia. They don't give out benefits thou... 🇬🇲🤔

Amazing content again thank you for sharing

She forgot to mention her blue hair...

I wonder if that is also the case for black employers

2.40 ‘ is it cos you is black’ 😂

Amazing content again thank you

I like your channel because you report social issues which matters to us in our daily live.

Nobody wanted them anyway !

*Yep, sounds about right.*

Hi do understand

It's the way in AmeriKKKa.

😂😂😂 It has nothing to do with race.... bc if our corrupt leaders there’s just not enough jobs

It sad but true! My nephew took him 3 months!

it is definitely racism. I am Polish, I am looking blue collar. I have white skin....and no black ancestry.....yet I also have basically a tough time to get a response when I want to rent an appartment or get a job interview. I am stuck. I am given the advice to apply for jobs yet nothing works.

Jeremiah 51 “I am against you, you destroying mountain, you who destroy the whole earth,” declares the Lord. “I will stretch out my hand against you, roll you off the cliffs, and make you a burned-out mountain. No rock will be taken from you for a cornerstone, nor any stone for a foundation, for you will be desolate forever,” declares the Lord.

If everyone is so racist. Start your own business, then you don't have to deal with racists...oh wait, you are the racist.

Bs

Why won’t they just hire those talented people? Just because of a colour? Really open your eyes, there are colours all around us, everywhere. Why not just realizing that?

Unsurprisingly, no one in the comments is whining about the unfair leg up from widespread "diversity" quotas, yet that IS clear, irrefutable racial/gender prejudice, tarted up as "social justice".

Good, praise the LORD our God through our LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. Jesus Christ is Lord!! No need to worry there...

Cap 2.0

My heart goes out to you all if the employer refuse to take you on you have a case if I was you I wood take this to court it doesn't matter where we are from we are all human beings I wood take this case to cort you will win your case then employer need putting in to place

move to USA , Nigerians are most successful group along with indians and immigrants

Poor woman has such a self image problem guess who give a person that as an adult... SELF THATS WHO

As a recruiter I can say that’s nonsense lots of jobs & opportunity.

So how come every Indian and Asian i know is absolutely minted🤔

I've heard from you Chanel4news that there a lot of positions are in agriculture in UK. Slaves from East Europe didn't come so you've got a chance baby

It helps if you actually look for a job and get off the government test!

Hmmm, there is a need in farming jobs. Weatherspoon needs 800 people right now.

Jobs every where

So putting 'racism' aside what is the theory that these young individuals are not being given a chance?

😂😂😂😂 l am black ..if they need a job everywhere in uk jobs nothing to do a black or white only the money not great

Maybe they just know your hard work.

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

test

Doesn't use age and demographics or no data. Bla bla bla

Looooooooool what a joke.

I hate people playing the victim and using the race card! Stop going on about race!

Is there going to be a video of the poor, racially discriminated Chinese people in the UK as well? Maybe we could do all the races and then head on over to sexualities, disabilities and finally different aged people being discriminated against. Cry me a river.

*What about disabled people ( of ALL colours ) trying to find work?* Another bleating race-baiter, who most of us are getting sick of hearing.

Theirs way too many people coming to uk from all around the world especially Chinese countries.

Please … give us all a break with this whinging . The Chinese, Asians and the many white ethnic minorities don’t indulge in this . We get on with it .

This is so true I have a Masters from LSE in finance and have seen and heard lots of white folks gets hired because of connections. Most people that work in the Human Resources department are white females

stop blaming others realize your own mistake

Think this is bullshit 😒
