Uh, it happens all the time. I could name many just in my fairly small circle of networking.
And no, I'm not talking about minorities. Most of these are idiots are "white".
Got a tip for us?

He implies that numerous times that hiring blacks is just "because people feel bad" rather than their actual skill level.
Have a seat and learn to read.
Thats exactly what Im saying, thank you. Im not white and if Im 100% honest Id keep the job I got that I was less qualified for but it doesnt make it right.
Obviously. But you knew that wasn't his/her point. Critical thinking goes a long way.

Says the person pretending to be a POC.
Um, I know no such thing. Have you read other posts of his? Do you know his biases? Hint: he just accused all "white" MR members of being racist.
I guess critical thinking does go somewhere.
Perhaps Race, Color, Sex, Breast size "IS" part of the qualifications for the job.
Not every qualification has to be brain/mind based you know.
The top qualifications for one job may be the most amazing pair of breasts with perfect skin.
Who decided what qualifies as a qualification for the job?
I am constantly reminded about policing as it's a little different in the UK than the US, but we are catching up!
If you have large black neighborhoods, full of black teenagers that are naturally getting up to things some teenagers do. One can understand that having Black officers in those areas may be beneficial to how the teenagers get along with the policing there.
Yes, perhaps in theory you could say well the white police applicants had slightly higher grades, but that's not going to help you as a police force deal best with some sections on the community.

The only thing he said that was questionable is that Apple probably hired Denise Young Smith because of her race. There is no evidence of that, and no reason to pin her hiring on race.
He is very much right that there is a growing trend of companies bringing race into hiring considerations. Nothing he says or does nullifies that.
Why do you continue to assume by default that said person is unqualified? It is as if you assume the job should go to a white male by default!

Oh please, and why the sudden focus on "black" people in particular? He does indeed briefly talk about other races and gender. But "black" has been on the forefront of his sentiment towards diversified hiring practices.
You don't know that! Where are your facts!! So one black woman and everyone is upset
It's incredible just how obvious this tokenization of Apple is. You can tell that some person or people are instituting it. For what reason? I've never seen anything so blatant. I wonder if it has anything to do with certain government entities forcing their way into Apple a few months ago?
People are more likely to hire people they'd like to date? I wonder why more white women aren't being employed
They hire more attractive secretaries than ugly ones
I just find it strange these women were working there before but were not shown on the website. I always liked Apple's mysterious culture but I guess opening up is the way of the future.
Seriously!' It's like inherently power hungry of white people to think it's always unqualified minorities taking their jobs!
Why they have 90% of high ranking positions in the USA !
It's disproportional to the actual population of minorities. There should be more Hispanics Azns and blacks in power - in congress it's all white old men and executives are white men too.
It's a white American folks.
Yeah exactly - why is there no Affirmative Action to install token White in the NBA?
How is she a token? Could she not possibly been hired for her skill? Why are you implying this?
Exactly - they can hire 98% blacks for the NBA, but the tech industry can't hire 98% Whites?
Wow and there it is.
This is why many white Americans can't work well with minorities and thus they hire more white people thus ruining this country
So you claim she's not a token? That this development and that of the Dr Dre Beats acquisition and Cook's new emphasis on Affirmative Action are all happening at the same time out of pure happenstance?
