Another Apple Employee fired for blaspheming the church of diversity

Post by Pwns »

Not a white male "brogrammer" this time, though. This time it's a black women who is the company's top diversity officer.

Just curious if any of the donks or liberals here are going to defend this. Can you really not say a group of white men can be more diverse than a group of people who look diverse?

If we're going to use race and gender as a proxy for real diversity, are you not presupposing someone's characteristics based just on race and sex (basically the purest form of racism and sexism there is)?

Sorry to disappoint, but on the surface this seems dumb. :nod:

If you say a joke and have to explain said joke...it probably isn't funny.

It was..but explaining took away the funny.
