Most powerful is appearing diverse on the outside yet on the inside every bit as posh, preppy & fratty as the street was in the days of old.

Example 1: Black dude who votes Tory, went to Eton and parents own a country estate 2 hours north of London, family originally made their money from owning South African and Ivory Coast spice trading companies in the 1600s

Example 2: White girl from Greenwich who went to Deerfield, spends her summers in Montauk, votes Republican and family made their money 250 years ago from the Trans-Atlantic slave trade

Example 3: "Latino" dude from Argentina (since the 1940s) who has the last name Schmidt, his family made their money as nobility who were knighted in the Kingdom of Prussia

Example 4: Disabled white dude who lost 2 fingers in a rowing/rugby incident at Andover, member of Skull & Bones at Yale and his last name can be found on the passenger list of the Mayflower

 

Real as hell. Went to an Exeter/Choate/Hotchkiss/whatnot and even as a nerdy immigrant child, the school's alumni network has almost been able to make up for the fact that I only got into a semi-target, plus people who went to other similar schools have noticed it on my resume and explicitly complimented me for it. Crazy how rigged all of this is

 

its female then black then hispanic and nothing else matters much. But those 3 are crazy boosts.
