I would guess that any case of discrimination follows the route of (A) someone reporting it (B) suitable organisation investigating it (C) A case put together to go to court.

Unfortunately there are organisations who channel lots of effort into discrimination against certain groups, but these same organisations would not see fit to do the reverse.

Me 'Knowing' and someone 'Proving' would need to involve an organisation that deal with racial discrimination, is there such an organisation that would be interested in white men of UK origin being descriminated against, I think not it would just be brushed under the carpet as positive discrimination.

I am sure similar to my example happens in all parts of the country by companies run by people from a different race, proving however is near impossible as you say.

Personally I dont see a huge issue with them openly admitting they only employ Pakistani people, as long as I am allowed to openly choose what race I employ.
