When that lady uses the words "white people", is she referring to the undead by any chance? Because methinks she looks quite quite pale.

I was about to say “I’m white as fuck BUT DAMN is she white.”

She can't be in sunlight without suncream with an SPF of infinity

I mean there are schemes similar to this targeted at women. There's no obligation of them to consider under-represented groups of men — I don't really see any difference in what this charity is doing.

The suit is claiming that she has faced loss of employment opportunity as she is white, and discrimination under the basis of the Equality Act.

said she had been “exploring a legal career” and therefore applied to the £14.80-an-hour internship scheme run by the 10,000 Interns Foundation programme and the Bar Council, but was rejected.

She appears to simply be a bile-spewing "journalist" who is clearly not hurting for employment. A cursory Google search has her pegged as a social media and communications graduate too - it doesn't suggest a keen desire to enter the legal profession, but perhaps someone not telling you you're special and suggesting you might have a default advantage turns you into a racist, dogwhistling P.O.S.
