This is simply untrue and you are unlikely to find any country that has such absolute policies codified in their law.
The example you give, Germany, has its own form of affirmative action codified under the Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz which permits employers to give preferential treatment to ethnic groups subject to structural disadvantages or underrepresentation. Germany uses the term "Positive Action" in their legislation:

- jupp0r 3y agoYour rebuttal is simply not true. Article 3 of the German constitution (Grundgesetz): "No person shall be favoured or disfavoured because of sex, parentage, race, language, homeland and origin, faith or religious or political opinions. No person shall be disfavoured because of disability." https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_gg/englisch_gg.html https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_gg/englisch_gg.h... Job ads in Germany often state that disabled applicants will be favored because this is explicitly allowed.
- NoRelToEmber 3y ago> Germany uses the term "Positive Action" Interesting how they never call it "racial discrimination" when it's something they like. I guess they had to come up with a euphemism to avoid the Pavlovian response they instilled.
- raxxorraxor 3y agoIt is also called positive discrimination if you translate directly, which I believe is an oxymoron and I believe it should be revised as well for modern times.
