“When corporate clients, even those who value diversity, are thinking about outside counsel, they are not giving significant amounts of business to women, to people of color,” said Sandra Yamate, CEO of the IILP. “Native American women and Asian American women are the poorest in terms of this.”
It’s a fact that makes it notoriously hard for Asians, particularly women, to advance in the legal profession, she said. Though Asian Americans in law enter the private sector at the highest rates, they advance at the lowest. While Black and Latina lawyers fare slightly better in corporate hirings, the difference isn’t significant, Yamate said. White men still dominate by a large margin, white women decidedly fall behind them, and other minority groups trail by a large margin across genders.
When it comes to non-Judeo-Christian religious diversity, businesses almost never even make an attempt, the study found, noting for example that Muslim and Sikh lawyers tend to fall by the wayside.
Aren't they free to hire who they think will do the best job? Come to think about it, maybe their not!👎😝
Corporations look to hire people to win for them. Here is question for you if it is an Asian company how do your hiring numbers work out?
I’m guessing some of their accents won’t be effective in court. Still great doctors and scientist though.
This is very sad. We need to do better. It’s flat out discrimination.
