Are there colored people in Minneapolis?
I know Minnesota is pretty white, but is the city of Minneapolis diverse at all? How is it living in the city as someone not white?

I love you
Sure I'll give it a go. Are you asking if there are non-whites in Minneapolis, or non-whites in finance in Minneapolis? The city itself is reasonably diverse - super large somali population and decently large indian population. Decent number of black people. However if we're talking high finance....well...that's a different story. I think I've only ever met one guy who's not white or Indian.
I know I'm not representative of everyone's experiences of course, but I've spent a lot of time downtown and know most of the firms well at this point.
This was what I was looking for.. thanks.
There are a number of asian people in finance too there. Definitely majority white, then asians and indians. Very few black people in finance in Minneapolis, but worked with a couple in my office alone.
People make too much of a deal about skin color. One of the MDs in town that is African American is as white as you can get.
I know a Director at a prominent firm who is African American
yeah 90% sure this is the same guy who I was thinking about when I wrote my post above
They had The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, but he has since passed. Not sure if that helps or not
According to Chris Rock the only black people in Minnesota are Prince and Kirby Puckett. Both have since passed, so no.
Yes there are anyone who’s famous tends to leave but there are black people there as well.
'colored' is offensive.
There are almost as many Somalis in Minneapolis as there are in Mogadishu or Lewiston, Maine.
Lol better stay the fuck outta Dearborn
If you're asking if Minneapolis is a great place to build a career as a non-white professional, I would say no. If you're asking if Minneapolis has non-white people broadly - yes (but in high finance, law, general business, etc. then no).
Says the intern. This is hilariously false.
I'm not actually an intern but as you wish...don't seem to see how your post is much diff than mine tho. There's some asian but few black/hispanics in the industry in Minneapolis.
Are you debating this?
OP - big Somali population in MSP. City itself may not be a NYC/LA etc or a London but you have to remember that very few countries in the world are “diverse” and so we we spoiled for choice here in the US.
Good Luck
People commenting are fucking morons. I’m from the area, grew up in the area, went to school in the area and previously worked there before New York. And oh yeah, I’m half black so I certainly can comment.
No shit there are non whites there, this isn’t Montana. Minneapolis itself is arguably the most diverse town in the state. With plenty of diverse young people. There are a lot of Somalians though and they piss me off a lot, but not due to them simply being Somalian. However, you have to remember this is the Midwest (north Midwest at that) so there’s not as much diversity as say NYC or LA.
What even is the point of this question again?
