Also, a lot of black kids won't come from families with professional (or possibly even working) backgrounds, so they will have had less exposure to what employers actually look for in employees. It won't be as intuitive to them to try to demonstrate traits like dependability, reserve and professional interest in the interview.

When they're constantly drilled with the diversity narrative from all sides (including firms themselves), can you really blame them for asking about the firms diversity efforts? They probably actually believe that "diversifying" the firm actually makes sense from a non-EEOC driven business perspective. If you think that, then it makes perfect sense to play up "diversity" in the interview. You'd think it actually makes you valuable as an employee, instead of a liability.

Wouldn't have minded the question as much if she made any attempt whatsoever to try to explain why she would be a good fit, or was even intrerested in the job, particularly since she was basically an autoding on grades alone

EDIT: Just in case you try to erase it.

"Two years ago I weighed 175, could bench 300 pounds, and would run 10 miles every weekend morning. Now I weigh 240 and haven't been to the gym in a year, can barely fucking move, everything hurts, and I have to walk around every day KNOWING that everyone around me thinks I'm a disgusting heap of shit. It's gotten to the point where my parents are really pushing me to have that cut out your gut surgery."

But Michelle could also frustrate her supervisors. Quincy White, the partner who helped recruit Michelle and who headed the marketing group, remembers finding her a challenge to manage. White, who is now retired from the firm, says he gave her the most interesting work he could find, in part because he wanted to see her advance, but also because she seemed perennially dissatisfied.

She was, White recalls, "quite possibly the most ambitious associate that I've ever seen." She wanted significant responsibility right away and was not afraid to object if she wasn't getting what she felt she deserved, he says.

At big firms, much of the work that falls to young associates involves detail and tedium. There were all sorts of arcane but important rules about what could and could not be said or done in product advertisements, and in the marketing group, all the associates, not just the new ones, reviewed scripts for TV commercials to make sure they conformed. As far as associate work goes, it could have been worse -- "Advertising is a little sexier than spending a full year reading depositions in an antitrust law suit or reviewing documents for a big merger," says White -- but it was monotonous and relatively low-level.

Too monotonous for Michelle, who, White says, complained that the work he gave her was unsatisfactory. He says he gave her the Coors beer ads, which he considered one of the more glamorous assignments they had. Even then, he says, "she at one point went over my head and complained [to human resources] that I wasn't giving her enough interesting stuff, and the person came down to my office and said, 'Basically she's complaining that she's being treated like she's a second-year associate,' and we agreed that she was a second-year associate. I had eight or nine other associates, and I couldn't start treating one of them a lot better."

White says he talked to Michelle about her expectations, but the problem could not be resolved because the work was what it was. He is not sure any work he had would have satisfied her. "I couldn't give her something that would meet her sense of ambition to change the world."

"Not many people went over my head," says White. It was an unusual move for a young associate to make, and he believes it was consistent with her personality. She "wanted something that pushed her harder {lcub}hellip{rcub} Waiting five to seven years to make partner was a good career move for me but not for [her]. There are too many other opportunities out there {lcub}hellip{rcub} that mature faster than that."

Abner Mikva, a former congressman and federal judge who is close to the Obamas and was an early mentor to Barack, finds that account of Michelle's 20-something impatience amusing. "It doesn't surprise me at all," he says. Michelle is "clearly somebody who likes to make decisions and likes to be involved in exciting and important stuff. I can imagine writing memos for other lawyers -- I don't think that would have been her favorite dish of tea."

LOOOOOOOOL,

Yeah, like you were gonna put her (or any other junior associate) anywhere near a client within the first 3 years at the firm.

Let alone during her Summer clerkship

- what are you doing to increase diversity?

- what are you doing to retain more diverse candidates?

- why do patent law firms not care more about diversity?

You're effectively requiring URMs to be well above median, which is tough for them.

You are actively trying to spread it further through your votes.

You may delude yourself into thinking you are actively trying to spread OTHER things through your votes, but the inescapable fact is that you are ALSO operating to spread the diversity disease though your votes.

So no complaining.

It would be like if I was a strong open borders advocate and voted for Trump. If I then complained about his cracking down on illegals, this would make me an idiot.

And to buck the racist tone of this thread, I will say that the smartest motherfucker in the room at any time is an old black admiralty law bro at my firm. He is one of the most 180 lawyers I have ever met and he's a borderline genius at what he does. Probably outed my firm by describing him but don't care too much.

I've had the experience described in the OP of a black applicant asking a bunch of diversity-oriented questions, but I always thought they were trying to impress/engage as well, and frankly almost all law students' questions are clueless and pointless. Law students don't know how to or care about distinguishing between firms; the Qs are for show ("see, I'm not an autist!") and, for faggots like the OP, to stoke the interviewers' egos.
