An online outrage ballooned after a supermarket chain in Australia posted a job opening with an outright racist tag.
‘No Indians or Asians please. Must speak English,’ is read on the online job ad of one of Australia’s biggest supermarket chain, Coles. The spokesperson of the said supermarket says that the job ad was done by a contractor and has already been removed. He reiterated that Coles is a company of equal opportunity and does not discriminate any race in employee hiring.Gumtree.com, the online job posting site where the ad was published might be subject to legal implications as it is strictly unlawful to isolate particular races in looking for job candidates.
