Working in the UK’s structural engineering sector, I’ve noticed that most people in the room at meetings and chartership events are White British, with East Asians present in good numbers and a few Indians you can almost count on one hand. It is genuinely rare to see another Muslim or Pakistani, and when I do, they are often from Iranian or Turkish backgrounds. It can feel quite isolating. Perhaps that’s why I worry when British Muslims present employers with long lists of demands before being hired. We are already underrepresented in these spaces; we should be encouraging greater participation and belonging, not unintentionally making ourselves seem more complicated to employ.
آج ایک مقامی چیمبر آف کامرس کی میٹنگ میں جانا ہوا۔ تقریباً پچاس کے قریب گورے شرکا میں میں ایک اکیلا غیر گورا تھا۔
خیر ہم بھی خود کو گورے سے کم نہیں سمجھتے ہیں 😂😂
