French ‘no Jews’ job ad sparks outrage

Paris : An advert for a graphic design job in France has been withdrawn after it said the candidate should “if possible not be a  Jew”. Racial discrimination is illegal in France and anti-racism group SOS  Racisme says it is taking legal action.The ad was posted on Monday by Paris-based NSL Studio on jobs site  Graphic-Jobs.com. NSL Studio has apologised for the ad but offered various explanations as to why it contained the offending clause. The company was quoted on Monday as saying that the hours of work,  particularly during busy periods, meant the candidate should not be  someone with cultural or religious needs.   -Agencies
