What is the most unethical thing you've done to advance your career?

Nothing

I however was rejected many times in the name of "diversity" since apparently being an Asian male means I am automatically privileged (I grew up in the bottom 10% of American society so no I fucking wasn't).

This was despite me in almost all cases being far more qualified than the person they endes hiring instead. "Oh, so you got a 3.88 GPA on both your very challenging degrees in Actuarial Science and Financial Engineering? Nope, we are going to hire this Latin/African American who is far less capable for the job for diversity."

The best shit was why I had to drop out of my first college. This upper-middle class girl got a scholarship from the school over me, because she was Hispanic. And thanks to Affirmative Action, Hispanics are 3x more likely to get into Ivy League Even with the SAME DAMN QUALIFICATIONS as Asians.

My SAT Super Score was 2250 vs her 1900. Highschool GPA of 98.5% vs her 89%. Lets not forget I had 2 years of experience working in fucking corporations vs 6months at _goddamn fucking McDonald's.

Wow, Affirmative Action truly helps the poor. Despite it only taking into consideration race, and not important factors such as area of residence and household income.

I have to deal with this at work as well. Interns who only got in thanks to AA royally piss me off with their incompetence. Not only that, they are pretty self righteous about it too. I on multiple occasion have had the experience of my own intern/assistant messing up a printing job and then telling me its my fault. Perhaps you should have listened instead of checking twitter every 30 seconds? Especially when I said it twice and asked if you got it all? That is not how you conduct yourself at one of the world's most powerful banks' CONTINENTAL HQ.

How they got in still amazes me.
