DEI Kids Less Charismatic Than Anglo Kids?

I have noticed when interviewing for normal programs and DEI initiatives that minority kids are less charismatic and personable than their normal counterparts. They have a chip on their shoulder and something to prove, which culminates into something that we in the industry (jokingly) call the "I deserve reparations/apologize for colonialism attitude". 
 

Meanwhile, their silver spoon and trust fund peers from the ivory towers of Dartmouth, Wharton, Yale or USC (in the US) or Oxbridge, LSE, Warwick and St Andrews (in Europe) are much more charismatic, polished, personable and bubbly. They have the right accents (RP British, etc), talk about the right sports (lacrosse, crew, golf) , stand and move in the right ways (you know what I mean, better posture, better and more polished body language) and even talk in the right tones (less of the high pitched liberal arts major, Yerba Mate, virtue signalling and BLM girl's annoying squeak and more of the suave, articulate voice of a frat chair or crew coxchair). 
 

I have nothing against DEI kids, but you guys can't tell me this isn't true. Every single one of you would rather work with a 10/10 KKG sister or a 6'3 varsity crew pike brother over some chip on their shoulder minority GDI. They keep acting self-entitled for nothing, spouting things like "apologize for slavery, for native genocide, for colonialism", something that no other demographic does. The jews and asians don't scream "apologize for the holocaust, give me easy internships and reparations" or "apologize for the opium wars, now give me easy college admissions".

When I first joined industry I had a chip on my shoulder. I was spiteful for my background, and I hated the fact that I always felt less than others because I know I was judged by the color of my skin, not the quality of my work. I made sure I was the first in and the last out, and that I could be as friendly as possible. Sure, I have an accent, and I came from misfortunate upbringings. Never once I wanted "reparations" or anything of the sort. None of my colleagues do either. When I was prepping for my SA, I wanted to make sure that I was the kid that came in with as much knowledge if not more then the top ivy student. I deserve nothing that I've gotten, and the imposter syndrome runs wild in me. The fragrant posturing comes more from ivy leagues, the posh kids too idealistic to realize the true struggles behind the words they speak. I didn't even ask for easy college admissions, and when I got into a place where I knew that I shouldn't have gotten in, I made damn sure that I was beating those who did get in without help.

As for your "apologize for whatever" argument, I do not want anyone to apologize for the crimes against my people in the past. I want solutions to what we currently face. I've done everything right, so why are people afraid of me? Why do you cross the street when I walk down it in a suit? Why is it that every turn in this society I feel lesser because I was not born from a specific pedigree? Are you mad that I got to the same place that you did from worse conditions? All my colleagues like me, or at least most do. I'm not entitled to shit, but neither are you. You had a easier time then I, unless you want to get into a fight over "how poor you grew up" (Oh poor you!).

Lets talk about it, you have nothing against us but you write a 3 paragraph explanation strawmanning my entire existence behind radical social activism that I never asked for. All I want is to have the same opportunities that you do. I'm doing my best man, what else can I do to appease you?

 

Let me be clear, I judge people by their ethnicity just like how I judge a racehorse by his bloodline.

A racehorse whose forefathers have a 6000 year history of geopolitical dominance is one that I instantly favor in every aspect of life over a no-name stallion.


Similarly, I instantly respect and admire those of Anglo-Saxon descent, as their ancestors have conquered 1/3 of the known world and 2/3 of the civilized world, or those of Venetian descent who created an empire lasting over 1,5000 years who ruled over 1/3 of the worlds' population at its height. 
 

I hold nothing but disdain and scorn for those whose ancestors essentially ran around barefoot and in the nude, eating raw meat and scavenging for tree barks and insects below the Sahara Desert for 6,000 years, ever since civilization began in Mesopotamia.


Of course, my initial "prejudice" can be overcome with sufficient personal achievements, but as most minorities I meet are of a young age (<70), they have not had the time to prove their virtues, and thus I judge them on the accomplishments of their ancestors.

 

I'd like to see you try and hit a golf ball straight. I'd love to see you get bodied in lacrosse. Def some nerd who's mad at white people for some reason

 

Golf is a game for the fatties who have no athleticism whatsoever. Lol at getting "bodied" in Lacrosse. Go play a real contract sport.
