Did you at all read what I said my friend? db_4life, maybe you are such a sweet person that you can't imagine other people hating on others through discrimination. I like to live in your world where these racial/discriminatory problems don't exist, ignorance is bliss sometimes.
Did you know Obama and his family had to have Secret Service service protection very very early in this run for President b/c there are racist people out there who want to kill him b/c they don't want a black President?
You don't seem to believe people experience very difficult situations b/c of real racism and other types of discrimination so I gave you some recent real life examples that I've been involved with from my non-profit volunteer work--my second hobby besides the CFA madness.
Yes "white guys" have had problems too, if you go to Chicago, Eastern European [ie. Polish] immigrants are still look down on by the Western Europeans [ie Brits]. I've learn that even people who have been historically mistreated still turn around and be racist to other groups. For instance African Americans like to take jabs at Asian Americans but now they have turn to saying the Hispanic Americans are taking all their jobs and are responsible for their plight. And Asians are still racist to each other as many are still uneducated and stupid. At the same time America was built on the backs of immigrants but look at the current anti-immigrant environment. People forget where they came from. The only non-immigrant in the US are the Native Americans. People are in financial distress now and feel the need to find an escape goat for their problems, it's most popular to blame the weakest immigrants. Not much different from how Hitler came to power blaming the Jew for Germany's recession. See how history comes back, slightly altered?
When I started in this industry my good buddy who has been in it for 30ys now said to me "Nephi, you are not going to make it, you're 1 a woman, 2 a minority, 3 young" but I'm still here and still riding the bull! The whole reason why I brought this up is to hope future CFA industry leaders and professionals [you guys] will be aware of these issues and stand up for shitt if you see things go down. Great leaders have great people skills; they don't belittle people. The good ole boy club has changed a little but much still needs to be done in corporate America. Other countries may have more ways to go but the road must be traveled by all to fully optimize human capital without biases. Tough order? yes.
I consider myself a very fortunate and lucky person but not everybody has that. If I didn't care about the future, I would just scratch my own back and let the financial industry breed more male shovenists, culturally insensitive @#$%& who offend women, their future co-workers and their clients as long as I get paid.
Thank goodness most people here are not like that.
db_4life, I like to take you to the Department of Justice meeting this Sat and the Advancing Justice Conference in Washington D.C. end of June, you will learn a lot like I have over the 6 years listening to field experts on public policy, studies, personal cases, advocacy plans, etc.
It's a dog eat dog world, if you let people take advantage of you for whatever reason, beyond all this, the somebody will. Don't be shy, don't be a wuss, always know who you are, have confidence in that and you will overcome whatever challenges life gives you.
The End, that was really long, sorry guys, I don't have to study now..hahaha |
