I have been observing in the UK city where i live, a strange phenomenon of McDonald’s restaurants becoming solely staffed by black or indian staff. In this city we do not have an extremely large population of people from ethnic minorities. If i lived in Manchester or London then i could understand it. I stress this was not the case around 7 years ago so something has changed. I am purely curious.

I have come up with 2 possible theories:

1. Black or Indian people franchise a lot of these restaurants and are choosing to employ those like themselves.

2 McDonald’s are now selling Halal meat so therefore those peole who could not previously handle the meat due to religion can now do so and therefore are taking up the opportunity for work.
It is not affecting me……read above…..i am curious.
