[QUOTE="frenchcorporation, post: 1121596, member: 1579"] As far as the UK, the smart black people I know, go into more "tradtional" smart people roles, like law, medicine, mech/electrical/chem engineering etc. Which is due to most of us being 1st/2nd generation immigrants, & these career paths being more straightforward and stable. Our parents push us into a few fields, hence why there arent many black people in tech, proportional to our numbers in the UK. Shit, when I was a kid my mother told me to stop messing around with computers, otherwise I'd "never get a good job" Also, I woudnt even want to work somewhere where I was hired preferentially just because I was black. I'd be taken less seriously by my colleagues, consciously or unconciously, & my fragile male ego couldnt handle that. [/QUOTE]
