I have another story.  I was once hired by a wall st. firm that has since failed....anyhoo, the first day on the job when I met the team I saw that it was all men and I was the only woman.  I felt like I was hired only for that reason and I wanted to leave.  The pay was so darned good though, I worked my tail off for 2 years and didn't get any special treatment.  The whole team was laid off after 911 and I haven't seen a paycheck like it since.

Well, everyone worked their tails off I am sure.  That is how Wall Street is.

[b]Wall Street firms realize that it's extremely hard to find sufficiently qualified blacks or latinos for decision making jobs, so they hire them as secretaries, hr, etc[/b].

Every single secretary I saw at my old firm was a black female.  Don't recall a single exception.

That's the sad thing.  They want so desperately to have qualified blacks but there honestly are very few.  Try fitting a square peg into a round hole in the workplace and it won't fit.

Obama To Unleash Racial-Preferences Juggernaut

If your organization has a policy or practice that doesn't benefit minorities equally, watch out: The Obama administration could sue you for racial discrimination under a dubious legal theory that many argue is unconstitutional.

President Obama intends to close "persistent gaps" between whites and minorities in everything from credit scores and homeownership to test scores and graduation rates.

His remedy — short of new affirmative-action legislation — is to sue financial companies, schools and employers based on "disparate impact" complaints — a stealthy way to achieve racial preferences, opposed 2 to 1 by Americans.

Disgusting.
