IN REPLY to H.E. Morgan, Risca (‘Discrimination’, Argus letters, Monday, September 12): no, you did not have to write that letter. 
You chose to. 
You are one of a group of people for whom it is not proposed to impose a policy of force. 
Nor are you or your daughter, presuming her to be an actual instance as opposed to a pretext, victims of discrimination. 
The reason your daughter did not get a free handout was that she did not qualify for one. 
There has to be a criterion for judgement and she obviously did not meet it. 
So what? 
In what way does that establish that preferential treatment is being afforded to those of a different ethnicity or place of origin? 
It does not, does it? 
In addition, because a person who has been here for more than a month may apply, it does not mean that they will automatically get it.
