Damn you reply fast, I just posted. Thanks can you elaborate a bit please.
Just out of curiousity, does that just „count“ if you are citizen of an arab country, or also if you are born and raised in a western country but are of arab origin and „look arab“?
I mean if your of arab origin you should easily be able to get an arab citizenship in like less than a month.
But I dont think so because they usually ask for place of birth and citizenship. So if you dont have an arab citizenship they might think you just changed names or sum.
No banks count Arab as diversity
Middle east / Asia is very overrepresented in finance so Arab is not diversity at any bank. The qualifier is African-American not just dark complexion.
you can do whatever you want but I would be pretty embarrassed to show up at a diversity event for black people as someone who is clearly of Arab descent
You know arabs arent only middle east thre is also north africa
It doesn't matter, that's still not considered diversity
Only if you are a female that wears a head scarf. Then not only are you considered diversity, but the firm will probably take a bunch of photos of you in the office and put it on their website?linkedin.
So if im a dude even though im arab from north africa I got no chance.
No lmfao 0% chance get in line with everyone else
No, we're not diversity. Don't know what the above commenters are talking about on "Over Representation" I'm the only Arab I know working in Finance (USA).
It's overrepresentation at a broader level - Middle east / Asia as a category. It's not done by diversity for every group
If this is UK I've still seen plenty of privately educated arabs/indians join stuff like SEO, but you would still be overrepresented on a numbers basis so proportionally for quotas it won't make any difference.
