As a recent graduate it make me wonder whether there are easier career pursuits. I don't believe that the profession has progressed on this front, everyone just more hush hush about it.

It makes one wonder just how far such discrimination stretches. If it can even find a place in the SRA. I never thought that a part of the SRA's work alongside preserving the repute of the profession includes a colour coded selection process. The SRA should be embarressed by this! Now I know what the ethnic background section on applications to the SRA is really for. That is just plane disgusting.
