Welsh pub in New York fined for race discrimination

[Marco Materazzi]

after advertising for bar staff with ‘knowledge of British culture’

Ex-pat Michael Colbert, 54, was hauled up in front of a human rights commission after advertising for new staff with an interest in Britain.
The landlord placed a job advert for the Longbow - the only Welsh pub in the Big Apple - looking for bar tenders with a knowledge of the UK.

The owners were fined £1,600 for race discrimination and the owners and staff now have to undergo anti-discrimination training.

Ridiculous.

Is this a Daily Mail story?

"It also said staff should know why Liverpool vs Everton is an important match, and that the Old Firm refers to a match between Celtic and Rangers and not a law company."

Weird, don't see how it's racist to expect them to have a bit of knowledge about the job they are applying for.

If its a daily fail article take it with a huge pinch of salt
