[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's interesting 17:32.  Sounds like you've got a pretty selective hiring process in place.  [/quote]

Yes we do - we also give a short standardized test at the beginning of the process for many potential hires. A lot of money was spent to show that it isn't "racially biased". [b]A lot of non URMs don't do well on the test either [/b]- interestingly enough my firm and competitors don't really get the heat that tech firms get when it comes to lack of URMs. [/quote]

So many self-serving anecdotes awash with nothing but confirmation bias, so little evidence that would survive even a modicum of scrutiny.

So, put up or shut up.

Name your firm.  Right here, right now.  Name your firm.  List the mailing address, the names of every member of your hiring review committee, the email addresses of those individuals, and the procedure for applying for a position with your firm.

Prove it.  Right here, right now.

I'm black.  I have a fancy Ivy League education.  (Ten Thousand Men . . . .)   I even have a pricey little law degree.  (Top 14!)  According to you and your ilk, I'm exactly that pesky little Negro who has wrongfully denied every white person on the Atlantic Seaboard the opportunity to do, well, everything.  (No wonder I'm so tired!  It's hard work wrongfully filling spots in elite colleges, stealing jobs from hardworking white folk, and still have the time to make tip-off because -- woo-hoo! -- we love hoops!)

So, prove it.  Right here, right now.

Name your firm, name your competitors, and I'll take your adorable little test.

But, you won't.  You'll make excuses.  You'll posture.  You'll equivocate.  You'll do all those things -- and then some -- because you're, quite frankly, not half the man your grandma was.

And, that's giving you the benefit of the doubt.  After all, I'm operating under the assumption you're not making this up.  Does your little firm exist?  Sure.  But, are you who you say you are?  I'd love to find out.

But, I probably won't.

Because you're probably a fraud.  Not half the man your grandma was.

Unless you prove it.  Right here, right now.  I'm not going to engage in debate.  I'm not going to entertain conversation with you.  Forget it.  Not gonna happen, liebling.

I'm just going to apply for that job.  Prove me wrong.

So, put up or shut up.

You've got twenty-four hours.  I'm not going to look at this thread for twenty-four hours.  I don't want to deal with your nonsense.  Nope, nope, nope.

I want you to prove it.  One day.  Deliver the demanded information.

Or shut up.[/quote]

I think you are over-reacting. First PP said a lot of non-URMs don't do well on the test either. It's not like she was picking on URMs. [/quote]
