[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Popping in as the black person here just laughing hysterically at so much of this. I am pretty much on the same page as Asian mom from page 3. I am going to push my kids HARD because I can't afford not to.

As someone who attended a top 20 school who has spent much of my career being treated as though I'm only in the room because of my skin color and not my abilities - I can tell you this OP and hopefully it will help you sleep at night - your average kids are still in the room with me. They are the ones who don't deserve to be there and have been there with me at every step of the way because of their privileged parents who paved the way and were able to buy the things that I had to claw and fight and work hard for.

So OP, your kids will be ok. And when you die, they will inherit your million plus house and assets and other investments and be even better. [/quote].

Yup. My Ivy education and law degree let me get in the door. At the same time a white woman with no college degree, who went to an unaccredited law school in California was my co-worker and I had to teach her how to research and do basic stuff for her job. She asked everybody so many questions and was a drain on time and energy. She got promoted to a permanent position in another office from because an outside higher-up insisted that she needed more close supervision. Then I got a new co-worker and we beat out all the teams by 15%, came up with a research checklist for how to find and sift out cases that would not work, got a good raise, but I just let my contract expire and moved on and my immediate manager moved on and asked me to work with him again in separate projects.
