In a row eerily redolent of apartheid in South Africa or the “colour bar” in the United States, a Dutch cleaning company has caused a storm of controversy by declaring it has a whites-only staff recruitment policy – and works only for white customers.
Wesley de Laat, owner of Budget Cleaning
Brabant, laid his requirements on the line when he advertised for
Dutch-born white-only gardeners on Facebook and in the regional press,
maintaining in answer to angry criticism that “white workers are better
than non-white workers”.
“I don’t discriminate,” he insisted. “I just
don’t invite them for interview. Poles, Moroccans, any non-whites, are
not going to be hired to work for this company. Achmed and Ali are
probably very good people, but I don’t want them working for me.”
