Just has to be a white male humble bragging. No POC could ever just say what this person said. I’m just so angry.

A1 nope but I get stellar reviews. My only negative comment was to “stop being so nice so people don’t walk all over you.” But if I weren’t extra nice people would claim I was an angry black woman so I felt that was a privileged take

As an income partner, let me tell ya, firms sell that BS all the time. Equity is an easy promise to make with zero follow through.

Anyway I agree that I hear white men believe that they're getting shares at a much higher clip than just about anyone else. That's true in almost every industry - men (white men in particular) hold themselves in much higher regard than anyone else holds themselves.

Ketanji did not come to play! Came out of the gate ready to fight and turn these racist arguments on their heads. The way she was dropping 14th Amendment bombs on that man made me so happy. And this is only her first day. I just hope they protect her well.

Does anyone feel like it’s difficult to gain acceptance and find allies when you’re a POC? I have attended happy hours, social events, and lunches, but I am not getting the same amount of traction as the other new lawyers who are white. Don’t know whether I should keep trying or just give up. Also don’t know whether it’s my personality or people at the firm. 😢

Anyone feel like your job sees you as "one of the good ones?"

Basically I feel like a token, and I don't know how to shift that idea while staying professional.
