"DIVERSITY IN BANKING IS ALL ABOUT THE WHITE WOMEN IN THE ROOM"

It's time to address the elephant in the room. As an African American male who's
had more rejections for banking and consulting jobs than I can remember, I find
it odd that when banks talk about diversity they focus on women. White women.

Diversity in banking means white males welcoming white females, plus a
sprinkling of Asians and a very few African American females. Experienced
African American males are barely considered. Every hiring, promotion,
compensation and layoff stat that I see suggests that my group is rarely
recruited, underpaid and more frequently laid off. White women are the largest
"minority" by comparison.



Sadly, the white males in banking don't seem ready to address the dearth of
black men in the industry. They never ask why they think they're the superior
candidates, and whether this might not just reflect the fact that for much of
the history of American banks, black men weren't allowed in. They surround
themselves with the same cookie cutter folks and think no further.

This is a shame. Doing business in an international environment requires people
who are the culture, heart, and pulse of those nations and industries. Those
people aren’t just Caucasian.  How many people of color are in sports and
entertainment? In banking, we are purposely disregarded.

African American men do more than rap, dribble, catch, throw, and run. We can
work in banking too. If you give us a chance.
