I'm white, but not a WASP. My parents have grade 11. Both grew up poor. Given nothing. Both self made. I grew up privileged. Private school, cottage etc. I earned a BSc and MBA. Smaller schools. I am very well traveled. My friends are diverse. My girlfriend is Asian. I once joined a national finance association and was invited to an event themed around scotch and art. I rejected it because I'm into pints and rock 'n roll. I quit the association. I worked on Bay Street in finance. Bad experiences dealing with white people. Screw sucking it up and fitting in. So I left. I have worked in other spots since then, and am established currently in a finance role with a private firm. I will never claim to know what it's like to be visible minority, but there are lots of options in the world if one avenue doesn't seem to fit. Take responsibility. Find it. You are not unique. Best of success.
