Yes I'm sure it's all racism and not the fact accounting has always been white as fuck, especially back when those partners started 30 years ago. And women generally have to decide between the long hours and raising a family... we all know what the usual choice is for PA.
I'm saying 30 years ago most PA first years were white men and rose up the ranks. The starting class 30 years ago is the senior management today. So yes in the 30 years of public accounting experience group there isnt really some big pool of women or minorities being ignored.
Jesus Christ. Started reading OP's meltdown but had to stop after the 5th message. Nobody is forcing you to stay with that company. If you feel like they've done some "injustice" to you, then leave.
THEN HOW WOULD YOU EVEN KNOW ABOUT THEIR LEVEL OF DIVERSITY IF YOU HAVEN'T EVEN WORKED THERE
Which is a logical fallacy
No such thing as systemic racism
Seems like OP is more into the appearance of diversity. Instead of diversity being about people from all backgrounds, it's about diverse skin color (appearance). I'm referencing their comment about the BDO CEO who's an African immigrant not counting bc they're white.
I've explained why the people with decades of experience are more likely going to be white men. This is just going in circles. If BDO leaderdhip is still all white men in 15 years you would have a point.
Yes a white man who grew up poor with an alcoholic father and bipolar mother and had to help raise my two younger siblings and then pay my way through college to get where I am today. Shove your privilege bullshit up your ass.
OP the basis you're using for your argument is called a circumstantial ad hominem.
I need to stop myself. Don't fall for it again! You promised yourself you would learn from your mistakes ! There is no way you are going to let another BDO fool provoke you into a tirade about the little firm that can't shoot straight........ whew crisis averted back to a pleasant Sunday and my gin and tonic

Op doesn't work for BDO, yet is stalking its org chart online
In the cases I've seen, women and POC work way harder than white men, because the bar is set that way that ANY weakness or shortcoming is magnified tenfold.
@bdo4 white privilege has nothing to do with who works harder.... you clearly don't get what this is about. This is about women and POC not having the same opportunities because of systematic racism in the work place.
Woman here.. OP is an idiot
Yeah cause white women "don't count" 😂 pot, meet kettle!
The CEO for BDO is an immigrant from Africa. But you're right he must've only gotten that gig due to his privilege.
The issue of inequality and discrimination in a country such as the US with a white dominant culture are complex social problems that naturally get reproduced within institutions such as PA. It's too much to expect CPA firms to buck the trend. Crowe has a women's program; so does Citi and I am assuming most of the B4 firms have similar programs. Until inequality is addressed at all levels of society's from schools,universities and other industries,CPA firms can only do so much. The glass ceiling exists and is still a reality. Other women stop other women from succeeding too, I am currently on the receiving end of completely false and baseless accusations from my PM. Life goes on though.
OP is an idiot, like someone mentioned it before. And what the fuck is a "supervising senior"?
