Ginger job centre boss who compared bullying over his hair colour to the prejudice faced by black...

Comparing the prejudice faced by black people to being bullied for having ginger hair is not racist, an employment tribunal has ruled.

The ruling came in the case of a black Job Centre worker who lodged a claim for race discrimination and harassment and disability discrimination, after his boss told him that he too had experienced bullying due to his hair colour. The hearing heard that Mr Rance had told Mr Ujah he understood how his 'people' felt 'because he was ginger' and got bullied as a child for it

The following month, Mr Ujah accused Mr Rance of creating an 'environment of double standards and racist aggression' and implored him to stop'. He said he did not create a hostile environment for people of colour, and was passionate about fairness, having been raised on an estate 'where I was persecuted and my nose was broken by people who didn't like the colour of my hair.'

While Mr Rance admitted he had called him by the wrong name, he said he did it to other people as well including his own children.
