UK -- would I be a diversity hire?
I'm a male Jordanian of Palestinian origin. Would that make me a diversity hire in the UK IB industry?

Yes. Not That There Is Any Diversity Recruitment In The Uk Like The Usa Though. It Is Mainly Events Which Enables You To Network. And Networking Doesnt Do Much.

just say your ancestry is part north african and call it a day. any middle eastern ethnic person can claim part north african and no one can say shit about it
Is North African considered “diverse” in the UK? We’re fucking white in the US.
well north africans in the US are still 'african american" right
A half-diversity target in my opinion. A bunch of Middle Eastern people apply, and according to them they didn’t get treated any different. You certainly won’t get a free ride in, but have a decent resume, decent internships etc you should get in anyway.
All the best!
Maybe maybe not, who cares try your best and see where it gets you. Always aim at being the best and never rely on the easy way in so you won’t have any regrets.
exact same background as you, but I'm in the US, and I don't count for diversity, since Arabs fall under white.
Ah, though my understanding is that things work a bit differently in the UK.
