Yesterday my memories were triggered when I found out that not only did classmates go into the finance sector after finding out that I passed the Series 7, but I'm being shown that white privilege still dominates and will fuck up everything. By the way, I was the only one who worked hard enough to pass the exam, they didn't.
The Asians I got to work with drove themselves hard, as the only Asians I saw in the field were serious overachievers. I'm talking about 98% on the Series 7, (others have a level 3 chartered CFA), CPAs, Masters in Accounting. This is totally different animal than the peers of white privilege that I went to high school with.
One is a girl who went to school for teaching. She's not the sharpest tool in the shed, she is pretty and popular though. She's one of the nicer ones in a racist state. Somehow shes' in management at Deloitte when I know Indian AMERICANS with high creds in accounting who were laid off from there.
Two brothers we know from high school, one was able to use his connections to build books. His not-so-high-achieving brother got a job at UBS. I can't get UBS to look at my resume.
My sister dated him, she would've treated me like the enemy even though I am more qualified for his job. The only Asian I know who worked there (outside of the CFAs) had a series 7, multilingual overachiever.
The only Asian in management at the low level trading firm I worked at scored a 98% on her Series 7. I passed that exam before my "people skills" sniveling b* boy boss from misogynist military did.
Last brief comparison.
One Asian girl I know scored a fantastic job out of college with a Masters in Software Engineering and a 4.3 GPA. She didn't once complain about physics or calculus. She complained about RACISM.
White kid with the same opportunity- average student in a frat at UofM with connections to 6 figure SVP job at NBC.
Nepotism rules.
