    To the entitled, equality feels like oppression. Affirmative action leveled the playing field for those who were victims of generational system oppression.

      With the current Ames SCOTUS case, I think we’re heading for a “fairness over equity” court system. Life is about to get a lot scarier for minority and (previously) protected classes.

      Nonono don’t you see? As the benefactor of oppression, you would be oppressing me by mitigating those privileges. Two wrongs don’t make a right so we now need to accept that the damage is done and just accept the world where white cis het men just have more safety, status and options.

      Fucking sad that people actually think this shit.

    Talent is evenly distributed among people, and sadly opportunity is not. Good on Apple for standing firm.

    Probably not the reaction everyone’s looking for, but I think it’s hilarious that a man who bankrupted multiple businesses, including casinos, and was found to have committed acts of fraud against children’s charities in the state of New York is telling one of the world’s most successful companies/brand names how to run their business …

    That’s fine… Apple responded to Trump by translating “Trump” as “racist”. Bigot would be a better translation, but hey….

    The dumbest part of all this is that corporate DEI programs were mostly a joke anyway. Reading a James Baldwin book or two will matter more than a half day class where they tell you not to be racist.
