Although I have not been in banking that long (4 months), I have yet to see a black banker. I have seen two S&T guys, but no bankers. Is it a lack of brain power or a lack of opportunity





..i've seen three in my
..i've seen three in my former firm. two male, one female.
in banking that is.
also, start being PC - african american.

I'm making it up as I go along.
african american is not
african american is not necessarily pc. Actually, the term "black" is okay. Many blacks of African and Caribbean descent don't want to be lumped in to the "african american" label since they are Nigerian/Jamaican/etc.
fine

Did I just read that
Did I just read that correctly? "A lack of brain power"...
Let me get this straight. So you've surmised that there MUST be only 2 reasons. Either they cannot do the work, or they are being discriminated against.
Yeah, you'll do just fine in banking...

Haha, amazing
Just goes to show you that you can be retarded, ignorant, and harbor just a ting of racism and still land that dream job on Wall Street. OP is living proof...
Maybe I'm the odd man out, but at every BB, MM and the couple of boutique interviews I had, I ended up meeting or interviewing with at least one black girl or guy.
dude... lack of brain power?
dude... lack of brain power? you kidding me? how can you say that on a public forum? Are you retarded or something? How did you ever get a bank to give you an offer?
Listen, this is America and
Listen, this is America and a public forum. The guy can say whatever he wants (luckily we still have protection of the First Amendment until Obama revises the document in Feb) and we can ridicule the OP accordingly for his comments. I have worked with bankers of all races and religions.
African American is PC?
You do realize that not everybody that's black is American, right?
Ouch, that was
Ouch, that was harsh..
*sigh* a lack of opporunities-

there are a number of very qualified and hard working black people at my firm. i don't think it's a stretch to say that non-minorities outnumber minorities, but we have a lot of people from different nationalities and backgrounds, all of whom are very talented, smart people.
i don't think OP's question is a bad one if it is phrased something like, "is it a lack of interest in these jobs or a lack of opportunity?"
making generalities about race and intelligence shows not only a shallow outlook, but also sets you up for some bad situations if you say the wrong thing to the wrong person.
