a jumping off point for future discussions, of course, but: i look around in nearly *any* social circumstance except when i'm at MIT (and even then, sometimes), and i don't see a majority of tall, white people any more. things have changed in the last 10, even 3 or 5 years.
i'm sure they haven't changed (as?) much in the financial worlds. but there are changes everywhere else, and so the financial worlds will have to change as well. things changing for minorities in general will eventually affect your particular minority, too. there isn't a particularly substantiable argument to make about that, but i do believe that it's quite true.
as a gastronomical aside (much more important than all of the semiexistential stuff above!) are you still in CA or are you back in MA? i'm free and hungry, was thinking of dim sum or something like it and so naturally, i thought of you. :) email or call me (mobile only) if you're around?
