Anyone noticed most of the Asians were delivering food in the movie?
Wonder what people thought about that? Were there really that few Asians and Indians working on Wall Street as bankers and traders at the time?
shareFairly accurate portrayal. You didn't start to see East Asians and South Asians in quantity on Wall Street until the 1990s.
Besides, we don't see a true Wall Street firm trading floor in the movie. Bud's firm was a retail brokerage, and much of the trading scenes we see are the actual stock exchange floor, which is quite different from the trading floor of a JP Morgan or Goldman Sachs in terms of racial/ethnic makeup.
