Comment of the Week:
This comment: by @DickFuld" in the post "Race/Ethnicity in Business- Is being an African American a disadvantage?".
I get the feeling that some people here are projecting. I know that Virginia tech has written many times that HE feels much more comfortable with other white people and doesn't really do much with minorities. I believe he said he does something in real estate and I believe UTD sells software. So, criticizing someone for being an intern for not knowing the financial industry when neither even works in the financial industry strikes me as a little strange, to put it mildly.
