What the petition asks
If the job was no 'blacks , Muslims , Asians' etc it would be uproar and legal action would be made. Equal rights for every race!
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The Government and Parliament are not responsible for investigating complaints that job adverts may breach equality law.
