Why are there so many rednecks working on Wall Street?

I want to work on Wall Street precisely because I want to distance myself from rednecks. But after I started working on Wall Street, I quickly realized that there are a bunch of unsophisticated, uncultured borderline rednecks who grew up in the suburbs. Some of them can sense the fact that I am the total opposite of a redneck and engage in subtle and nuanced micro-aggressions directed at me. Which Wall Street firms have the least rednecks?

Also, a person from any demographic can be a redneck.....So my definition of a redneck does not include only people from certain types of places and backgrounds.

Asian guy here - just wanna clarify that

  • we do NOT get any URM recruitment privilege (the girls might under the general women status); in fact it mostly works against us (the same way affirmative action works at colleges)
  • OP is a bitch and I apologize for her

Anyone who uses the word "micro-aggression" in any context other than kissing up to your lib art professor cus you haven't showed up all semester and want that A- bumped to an A does not deserve employment in the real world.

Holy fuck this page is going downhill

I laughed at that stupid guy who brought up the topic of the URM program.....He must have some sort of inferiority complex....most white people have an inferiority complex, which is why they are racist in the first place.

 

Nope....your definition misses the point. Even a privileged white girl from Connecticut can be a redneck. Did I ever tell you that the only guests who attended a stupid cowboy/cowgirl party at a restaurant in NYC are well-to-do white people driving Mercedes and are from places like Greenwich and Danbury. It was quite the scene to be honest. It confirmed my long-standing suspicions about the poor taste of many of those people.

 

What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
