An Inclusive Litany
6/10/02
A job listing center in Bolton, England, refused to accept an
advertisement asking for a "friendly" applicant for a food service
job at a travel agency. The manager who requested the ad said "we
were told, 'It's discriminatory because some people may perceive that
they are friendly even if you don't.' " The words "motivated"
and "enthusiastic" had also been banished in the past.
