[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 78626, member: 1572"] Hi, You’re right. My statement on the “very high” numbers doesn’t have facts to back it up and is merely a personal observation from the number of BAME international students I see who do get recruited (myself included). I apologise for that generalisation. I actually wasn’t being asymmetrical in my view at all. In fact I specifically said white or BAME working class individuals. Both generally don’t have the same access to wealth, education and other resources that their wealthier counterparts of the same race/ethnicity do. I don’t think it’s wrong to say more needs to be done for them comparatively. Hyper aware that the success I have achieved as a BAME candidate is in no small part due to the education and wealth I have been privileged enough to receive. My point was that more needs to be done for people (BAME and white - caveat that I do agree with you on the structural privileges a white male benefits from as compared to a black male from poverty/a low socioeconomic background) who don’t benefit from the same and that I don’t think enough is done. Horribly phrased to say very little needs to be done for the wealthier counterparts I agree. If you read the comments I made earlier in this thread you’ll find that I agree with you wholeheartedly on the lack of senior BAME representation, the fact that firms need to do more for BAME groups (never suggested or even implied that firms are compensating or even that what firms do now is substantial), and on the difference in socio-economic status between BAME groups themselves.
