[QUOTE="whisperingrock, post: 74184, member: 7657"] Speaking as someone with various "diverse" characteristics other than ethnicity, I think people's memories are a bit short. Most firms and people did not care very much for issues of diversity until very recently, with a big push only happening in the 2010s. If you look into the history of law firms in London, you will be shocked to see how recently it became allowed and accepted for women to wear trousers to work for example. Change takes time. This doesn't exonerate those that aren't trying to change and those who are only paying diversity lip service of course, but I think commenters are being a little unfair on organisations which are trying but haven't hit the mark yet.
