Apple fires Diversity executive for speaking an obvious truth
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...s-job.html
Seriously, who but a complete idiot thinks you can't have a diverse-looking group who all thinks the same? Or that you can't have people who all look the same with different experiences and world views?
If you're going to use race and gender as a proxy for who they really are, then isn't that the purest form of racism and sexism?

Race and gender are just social constructs.

apple is more of a religious cult than a corporation. nothing that it does would surprise me. nothing that it didn't do would surprise me. if every iPhone owner on planet earth suddenly started screeching in tongues and set themselves on fire, that wouldn't surprise me either.

Race actually is. Most African Americans are 25-30% European. There may be more genetic differences between two adjacent African tribes than between a Swede and a Chinese.

Why is common sense lacking in leadership positions all over the world these days?

She was actually unbigoted, explaining that there are various forms of diversity. 12 white, blue eyed, blonde haired guys could be rich, poor, straight, gay, Jewish, Catholic, smart, dumb, well, ill, Democrat, Republican, Norwegian or South African.
She was truthful, because well...its an accurate statement.
She didn't mean any offense to anyone not white, blue-eyed, or blonde.
So she got fired for an unbigoted, inoffensive, truth.
Nice Utopia we're constructing here.

common sense left the building when a major american corporation was intimidated or indoctrinated into thinking they needed a diversity director in the first place.
