The marginalization of white males probably won't end well

Bosses at one of world's biggest investment firms will need special approval to hire white men

Bosses at one of the world's biggest investment firms will need to get special approval to hire white men as part of a new diversity drive. 

State Street Global Advisors aims to triple the number of black, Asian and other minority staff in senior roles by 2023 as part of a drive to improve diversity within its middle and senior management.

Failure to meet the target will result in a drop in executives' bonuses, reports The Times.

State Street, which has 30 offices worldwide, including Canary Wharf in London, currently employs 39,400 people.  

Jess McNicholas, the bank’s head of inclusion, diversity and corporate citizenship in London, said: 'This is now front and central for State Street — it’s on every senior executive’s scorecard.

White males have done very well for themselves, their families, and their countries over the past several centuries, all without working under three tiers of governmental, corporate, and academic control, and I imagine they can do so again as they’re forced into the wilderness. In the Plessy v. Ferguson world of “separate but equal” the country deprived itself of the services of talented, capable blacks and women of all races; today, we’re returning to that, except that it will be impossible to fire those who prove incompetent. That won’t inspire confidence among those dependant on their services.
