They are building diversity!, But Why this way?

 Ever wondered why US employers ask you to disclose your ethnicity?

They are building diversity!

Would it surprise you if you knew that while Black is an ethnic group due to their African origin/roots/DNA (identity?), the largest group "White" is not defined as such!
I am amused to see, Asians form a larger percentage of the workforce pie in the Big4 than the Black have!
While Hispanics share matches head to head with Blacks in these Big4 in, Deloitte US has no mention of Hispanics! Maybe , because, Deloitte, considers and reports or not, ethnicity different than "Race"! Sounds complicated? Let me know what you think is ethnicity and race understanding in the US workspace!

I leave you with a thought for the MNC firms (Partnerships, Listed or Fortune500, etc.), who care about #diversity #building so much have ONE understanding of the US diversity and the other in rest of the world! Consider India or China; would Big4 define the same or similar ethnic diversity groups here as they have for the US? The Race vs Ethnicity, Blacks vs Whites? Think for why and why not!
If we stopped being biased, prejudiced, discriminating based on color, age, race or ethnicity, belief of customs, cultures and history, we would build a truly bias-agnostic workplace!
Doing social justice shall be left to the law makers of the nations!
