[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 74255, member: 2672"] I really wish it was as simple as that. When a grad rec team is typically less than 5 people, diversity will be hit and miss, especially when HR is not a popular career destination for certain groups. I have been fortunate to work with diverse teams, but ironically when it was at its most diverse, I was reporting into someone who despite being visually diverse, their attitudes were pretty awful (in my opinion but also had to call them out for using a racial slur against someone) and also very specific. I guess I just get frustrated that as someone who looks visually white, I am always going to be at a disadvantage and it sounds like will have to work harder to convince people. Guess that’s the downside of my privilege though. [/QUOTE]
