Not sure if everyone's seen this: Black Analyst Program
At what point does diversity recruiting cross the line to being racist?

Really thought at first glance that this was some sort of elite division of GS with a cool name, like BX Tactical Opportunities or DEVGRU.
@Frank Quattrone" LOL. It would be cool if they were developing a program to infiltrate corporate America in an effort to steer more business towards GS a la McKinsey.
"Black Analyst" at GS, known for their Ninja Moves.
I see a lot of this about to happen when college kids find out....

Mindy Kaling's brother did that a few years back.
How about just trying to hire more black people? Instead of this initiative.. Admittedly I'd lol if I'd see someone titled as a "Black Analyst at Goldman Sachs" on their LinkedIn profile..
...how about just hiring the people that are able, qualified and willing? Regardless of any other factors that have nothing to do with those 3 qualities? What happened to that?
Man I love diversity programs. Thank God I'm black. Incoming Investment Banking Black Summer Analyst at Goldman Sachs!!
Please tell me "Investment Banking Black Analyst" is on your business card.
Hahaha that would be amazing
Yet, some people still wonder why a growing number of people think affirmative action is racist.
Haha, the world has gone crazy!, whats next?, a mixed race, one eyed, lesbian analyst program?
I guess it would be racist if they made it sound in a hip hop way with ghetto slang.
If none of these associates are promoted to MD within a year I am calling racism. Also, how do you invest in Kendrick Lamar, basketball and watermelon all at once?
More discrimination against Caucasians. Programs like this are one reason why, amongst the masses of degenerates, Trump has a significant number of intelligent supporters: People are sick of reverse racism and the erosion of meritocracy.
Lmao, "erosion of meritocracy". Where did you read that? I like children's books too, especially the ones with pictures.
Ah yes, the good old meritocracy...I miss the times when Chad would land his BB offer thanks to his networking skills ( his dad being a Group Head at said BB) or when Jessica somehow is able to land PE interships her freshman year despite not knowing what FCF is.
So does this mean Black > Native American (tribe certified of course) ????
The Native Americans got screwed by Liz Warren. So all the cool kids are ignoring them for the time being.
I'll have to go back to my recruiting team and let them know about the changes in racial prestige programs.
Does GS really hire coons?
Better the Black Analyst Program than the White Analyst Program. The latter would just start a war.
Affirmative action is inherently racist because it imposes different admission and hiring standards for different ethnic groups.
It's fine to want to hire more blacks, but it should be done so as part of the normal recruiting process and not lead to a sacrifice in caliber of the talent.
Lot of blacks at elite schools and firms complain that others assume that they are there because of affirmative action. Well, if we didn't have racial preferences, this wouldn't be an issue. When I meet a black person who went to Harvard undergrad, for instance, my first thought is he got in through affirmative action. When I meet an Asian person who went to Harvard undergrad, I assume he's brilliant and was a total rock star in high school given how difficult it is for Asians to get in. I know a lot of white liberals who think this as well but would never say so publicly.
To stir up more diversity not amongst the ethnic group but more human uniqueness, we need like the blue eyed analyst program, the hairybunch analyst program, and finally the bignosed analyst program
Bignosed you say? Fuck yes as an indian I'm a 100% lock-in for this program. Finally!
I'll submit a res when there is a fat analyst program.
interesting
I'll submit a res when there is a phat analyst program.
Is there a Goldman Sachs White Analyst Program you can sign up for?
No. That's racist.
I always think that these types of 'initiatives' are disingenuous and probably irritating to minorities who happen to be IB analysts/associates.
If you see lack of diversity as an issue and want to solve it, you should probably start at underprivileged communities that barely have education infrastructure. Once you're applying to IBD at GS, you're probably not stunted by the same things as poor minorities in America. What's the difference between hiring a white econ major from Harvard versus a black math major from Yale? I don't think you're fixing anything.
.
Correct. If we have affirmative action, it should be based on socio-economics, not race. As the system works now, wealthy Black Americans and non-American blacks such as Nigerians, Jamaicans, etc., benefit from affirmative action. Most blacks at elite schools come from upper middle-class backgrounds; very few are from truly disadvantaged backgrounds. The system is racist and deeply flawed.
@matrick so you just made an innocent tread asking if a black only diversity program is racist?
You had no idea that the thread would illicit many strong opinions ,inflammatory and racist responses and insensitive comments?
Please say yes because that means you're an oblivious fool.
I guess if I went into student doctors network forum and said hey guys I'm a black urm with a 3.2 from Rutgers and a 24 MCAT will I be accepted, then I'd be as clever as you.
No, that was exactly the point: to make a thread about sth that is obviously racist and that anyone can see is racist just by the sole name the program has. I think everyone who posted so far understood this except for you obviously.
