Re: Fancy a new job?
Great to see opportunities for young black men in a very poor area. Hopefully more of these to raise up our poor and under represented.

Youve hit the nail on the head there Wumble - a very poor area. For all races. Nice to see some equality.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Tue Sep 29, 2020 7:45 pm Great to see opportunities for young black men in a very poor area. Hopefully more of these to raise up our poor and under represented.

Re: Fancy a new job?
Like we are heading to be another South Africa with each occupation/role having quotas.
Every role has to have more BAME employees. We keep hearing that there is not enough representation but nobody ever says how many will be enough.

Re: Fancy a new job?
Bending the knee so a lot of white liberals can feel good about themselves is a complete waste of time and just makes people angry. This is great. When I joined an investment bank at 17 I answered an advert in the ilford recorder. Now, young poor and especially young, poor black kids would never have a chance. There are thousands of university applicants for one job. This can only be a good thing even though as horny says. There are white kids with f all as well and we shouldn’t forget that. Hopefully the bank is not just doing it for publicity.

Re: Fancy a new job?
How would you prefer to go about making employment opportunities fairer for different races?
Are you saying that, unless someone defines what ‘enough’ representation is, no efforts should be made?

Re: Fancy a new job?
So if someone gave you an 'at least this amount' answer, you'd then potentially feel satisfied?
Because I can - if this will cure you.

Re: Fancy a new job?
It’s just a seminar. Someone from Macquaries HR and PR departments will pop down and pretend these kids have a chance of getting a job with them.

Re: Fancy a new job?
I'll reply to this anyway, even though you've come clean that you were messing about above, which is good. I thought you were genuinely this thick to start with

Anyway, what I'd say to someone that was genuine is that, as an example, 3 of 650 senior bankers over 11 banks in London are black. That is 0.4%. In the UK black people account for about 3.5%of the population. I'm sure you'll be unsurprised and hopefully not marginally outraged to know that black people account for a larger percentage in London than that, too.
So, getting in a position where our organisations and industries begin to resemble our demographics make sense. And you're 100% right, there would be more for kids in poverty, working class kids, too.
Does that make it make a bit more sense?

Re: Fancy a new job?
Why are you encouraging anyone to join a bank. They are thieves

So if it's about equality of outcome, are you concerned by how much Asians are over represented in top medicine careers?PoliticOs wrote: ↑Tue Sep 29, 2020 9:24 pmI'll reply to this anyway, even though you've come clean that you were messing about above, which is good.

Yes.

Although I don't worry about it by looking to overrepresentation, but to underrepresentation. So I don't get angry at the 647 out of 650 non black senior execs in the City, its not their fault. They work just as hard and smart as everyone else, I'm sure. I'd look more to who isn't getting there.
