No client values “diversity” as a quality in a lawyer.
Trying to force political agendas on customers loses customers. AKA “get woke go broke”.
No diverse society will ever become “color-blind”.
What the several cultures must learn is to be blind to color.
A lot of Asians, whites and if there was a black person, they were from Nigeria.
This just can’t be true. Colleges and universities are all about diversity. And focusing on advantages for minorities.
So how come this feel-goodism doesn’t transfer to the real working world?
It seems liberals do not know the meaning of the word “meritocracy”
There are not enough Blacks to fill quotas in board rooms, public offices, police departments, college faculty, “STEM” jobs! They’re only 18% of the population! You just can’t do this! not possible!
Same with every other minority. Do the numbers.
Can we see a picture of the New York Times’ executive office? Don’t think they have many dark faces
Years ago I worked with a very hard-working black lady. She was a wonderful person and a single mother to a teenaged daughter.
She had been married but her husband left her when her daughter was still a baby. She didn’t take up with other men nor have other children; she went to work and worked hard to give her daughter a better life than she’d had, including a better education.
At that time her daughter was in high school and her ambition was to become a lawyer. More than once the mother confided in me her exasperation with how her daughter was being treated by her classmates. The daughter was constantly told she was “trying to be white” because she tried to do well in school and make good grades and because she wanted to go to college.
It made no more sense to her mother than it did to me. Getting an education and living a middle-class life had no relationship to race in either of our minds. I eventually left the job and the area and don’t know if her daughter achieved her goals or not.
I think that, unfortunately, the attitude that getting an education, speaking correct English, and living a middle-class life is “white.” Even kids who have the innate capability of becoming a top-notch lawyer are discouraged from developing their intellects and obtaining good educations.
Affirmative action practices don’t help, either.
It's the ambition gap. Most blacks, just frankly aren't that ambitious. Of course there are exceptions, but the "crab bucket mentality" saps ambition from a young age.
This is the issue no one dares to talk about.
This is nuts! From what I have seen on TV and the movies the majority of Judges, Lawyers, Police Chiefs, Army Brass, Doctors ETC. are Black! Can it be we are misinformed?
I guarantee that the overwhelming majority of big law partners are screaming left wing liberals (they were when I was a big law associate). How could it be that they aren’t promoting blacks?? /s
We have only had 50 years of affirmative action discrimination and white privilege is still here.
Well that’s what our liberal pals will conclude as they vote for AOC and Kamala and Tlaid and Omar. White devils out!!
