Diversity Sensitivity cont. [no formula needed]

malbec

Occasionally, a reminder needs to be posted for the board.

This is a statement about mutual respect for other candidates. However using racial slugs against each other is clearly crossing the professional line and shows a total lack of class. We are all pretty competitive people but we don't need to go that low.

I would like to think most people here are pretty well educated and have worked with other diverse groups of people before, hopefully most people have had some diversity training along the way in this very global financial industry. Bigger shops tend to do a better job at this b/c they recognize staying on top requires a diverse group of employees to generate ideas and profits. People need to work together through differences while maintaining respect.

Sometimes people who never had to deal with stereotypes, indirect racism or blunt racism don't understand why people who do deal with it in their regular lives get sensitive to it. We get sensitive sometimes b/c it brings back memories of crapp that happen before that shouldn't have. Plus if nothing gets said ignorant people will think it's ok to continue.

I'm sensitive to it, it offends me even if it's not my ethnic group when @#$%& statements are made by people who know better and are held to a higher professional standard.

Most people here are very respectful of others. Please continue to bear in mind, even if you get mad or pissy, try to cruse, name call, tell stories, without biases toward race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age and whatever else, you know the drill.

It will keep AF a great place for discussing financial madness where everybody can contribute and learn free from unnecessary BS.

Thanks for reading.
