hite actor with over ten years of acting experience. He sees the advertisement asking for an actor to play Othello and attends the casting interview. John refuses to watch him act and asks him to leave, saying, ‘Didn’t you read the advert, mate?’ Adam claims that he has been discriminated against because he is white. Karl is interested in the theatre and sees the advert for stagehands. He is disabled but is able to lift and carry light loads. He attends for interview and John tells him that he’s sorry but he cannot make any special arrangements for disabled workers. Advise Adam and Karl of any potential claims that they may have using anti-discrimination law. What would be the position if the group were staging Romeo and Juliet and the advertisement asked for ‘white actors only’? Would Adam have any claim if he was rejected only on the basis that he was black? Would John have any defence to any claims made?
