[quote=Anonymous]I feel a lot of this has to do with some employers assumptions-perceptions-biases: White-Asian = hard-working, smart, honest URM = lazy, corrupt, low IQ Employers, old boy networks will not differentiate a middle class/privileged URM from one who had to struggle for the most part. They might assume all URM have those negative qualities. So Juan Perez, no matter his SES, that graduated from U Mich might end up on the same playing field as a Kyle Connors who “summered” Martha’s Vinyard and went to U of Delaware. I get that URM kids from higher SES groups mostly have not had to struggle in their comfortable worlds, but as they encounter the professional world, old traditions might remain, and they will end up having to work twice as hard to hang with the “finance bros” [/quote]
