Proof of diversity
So currently, I’m a sophomore getting ready to apply to banks this spring. I’m trying to apply through the diversity program, but I’m scared I don’t have enough proof. My grandpa was fully Native American. The only problem is that he was an orphan and didn’t have a birth certificate to trace the tribe he was a part of. My grandma and dad are Irish, so I look like a basic white dude. I also heard DNA testing isn’t valid proof. How should I proceed?
Also, my grandpa died when my mom was very young, which is another conflicting factor.
Nobody will care. Just say you're Native American. I know multiple guys who look super white who are somewhat Hispanic. They just put it, and nobody will bother to check.
You think so? When I applied for schools I tried saying I was Native American and they came back and asked for the tribe which I couldn’t answer cause he was an orphan. Will banks be different?
Why don't you just guess?
If Liz Warren could make it to the US Senate before people started questioning her, I think you’re good for your internship.
I didn't know hotmail was still a thing
Haha. It’s still my Apple ID but not my primary
still, change it bro
Go on ancestry.com and do a gene test. Currently 25% off
Would that work for internships? It wasn’t considered as valid proof for schools.
Most of the diversity stuff for banks is based on Self Identification, from the experiences of my peers, if you really believe you are the diversity & not just making it up to grab a seat, no one is going to say anything.
They don’t do any verification or anything like that, if they did it could easily lead to lawsuits. If you “identify” as anything nowadays they have to accept it.
Honestly anyone asking for "proof" of diversity should have you running the other way.
Easy. Say that your ancestors - Adam and Eve, were born in the Garden of Eden, which is roughly located in Persia or Iraq. That's as diverse as it gets
If only Middle Eastern were considered diversity
thought everything non-white and non-male is diversity
You do not need proof and they would only ask if you don't look at all like the ethnic group. "So where is your family from?" - that's when you explain. Many half-black folks for example would pass for full white. Check that diversity box, be confident and explain only when asked.
