How is this legal?

1) Why no EU residents?
2) Why no whites?

Ahhhh, another thread where wealthy, white males can rant about how hard they've had life.

That's not the point - the point is that the advert is racist. Care to dispel that?

I read an appeal on Linkedin for a recruiter to help an organisation interview women for a role in which women are under-represented. A few people were up in arms that it was sexist.

The hiring organisation calmly pointed out that they wanted to *interview* more women, with an interest in hiring more women to even up the numbers - but that the best person for the job was going to win the job. I'm fine with that (albeit with a sneak suspicion that a man would have to beat a woman on the scoring by a considerable margin to win the role).
