[QUOTE="Elmiro, post: 170227, member: 33889"] If I can quote OP verbatim, "I completed a VS with them, and most of the people on the scheme were white." My response to that statement was perfectly reasonable, as [B]'most'[/B] would signify a VS consisting of over 50% White students, thus accounting for the "50-80%" statistic I gave as an example. The issue OP has is clearly that most of the people on the VS were White, so reading [I]your [/I]assumptions into what OP would have been fine with is just presumptive. Your attempt at painting me out to be someone that is bigoted is laughable and nothing but pure conjecture. I didn't 'confirm' anything regarding the representation of ethnic minorities, I just simply stated that there is a stronger case for ethnic representation in criminal justice as opposed to corporate law. The reason for this is a no-brainer, one is concerned with the administration of justice for average civilians (who will vary across race, gender, etc), the other is purely about representing and advising multinational corporations with no legal personality. For someone that is so quick to point out said assumptions, you're very quick to draw on them yourself. You certainly don't have to engage in the conversation any further as quite frankly, in such a short space of time, you've become riled up and aggressive, and that sort of poor temperament is hardly a desirable trait for someone looking to break into the legal sector.
