In some cases it may be language in others it could be circumstance. Like many of the Salvadorans I worked with when I was younger in construction were fleeing hardships severe and traumatic ones. This combined with lack of education and a somewhat insulated community (while in the USA) where they didn't need to learn English contributed to this as well.
But I can easily look at others (immigrant families) who did well, who's parents sacrificed it all so they could send their kids to college. Then I can look at my family (2nd and 3rd generation Mexican American) and see that im the only one of a hundred cousins that went to college and got a degree (two in fact) my father didn't have a penny to him despite working his whole life. He blew it on partying and drinking and drugs. There are just so many circumstances out there for everything to be painted with such broad brush strokes (i.e. neither one of my parents finished hisghschool and they weren't ever married and split when I was 9). Don't get me started on the white side of the family they didn't fare much better and there are reasons for that too.
It’s not a coloring match. Maybe the best people for the job just happen to be white/Asian?I am always staggered by Apple in this regard.
All the talk and the various people they show in the adverts buying their products.
And yet you take a look at Apple's own top people on their website:
Not its not a coloring match its a match of what school mommy and daddy sent you too and what connections you have for the majority of them and many others in their circumstances. Or is it you want me to believe that actors have children who are also the best actors in the world, it has nothing to do with mom and dads wealth and the acting coach from 5 years old etc... I would also argue a number of them while being at least shaded lighter are not "white" people.
I had, you're right. I was specifically looking for red/white swastika flags when I read the previous comment.
Thank you. I did some more research when I couldn't find any images of swastikas, and also saw the Auschwitz sweatshirt on some sites.There were no swastika flags to my knowledge but there were Neo-nazi ones. This website identifies all of the symbols that were spotted.
Decoding the flags and banners seen at the Capitol Hill insurrection
Many in the rabid mob who stormed the US Capitol yesterday came armed with a portable and potent weapon: a flag. There were large election banners, battle colors from the American Civil War, neo-Nazi flare, Christian symbols, and a smattering of national and state flags. Seen as a whole, they...qz.com
The timing was critical. Trump was advised by everyone around him for nearly 5 hours before reacting to the violence. He's very quick to incite and very slow to quell the violence. He's done this repeatedly over the past 4 years. You can argue the details but I find it hard to defend his lack of basic judgement and leadership skills.
How do you account for the videos of police being attacked, chased and crushed in the doorway? Obviously, authorities weren't all on the same page but that hardly excuses the rioters' behavior more Trump's. Trump loves executive orders but never makes them when it comes down to actually saving lives in the moment, unless it's his hiding in a bunker.
Maybe Trump should be held to a different standard considering he is the President and not a local politician or protester. Just a thought.

What counts most is Apple’s commitment to entrepreneurs of color.
I agree. You should ONLY hire someone based on their résumé and experience. Not anything else from race, religion, or sex/gender identity.
Did you donate? So why do you care?
Being upset over being treated unequal is dividing the country? Just sit back and take it huh?
Funny how your kind plays victim. You think you bring the country together?
The fact that some people disagree with the sentiment behind this is NOT proof that it is needed. Stop using ridiculous logic fed to you by the RICHEST people in the country. They are doing everything they can to divide us on RACIAL lines and NOT CLASS. They do not want us to talk about class. That is why they are doing this ********. We do not need racist practices that pick people because their skin is a certain color. Why couldn't this just be for the less fortunate as a whole??
I love the idea and investment into this idea.
It all boils down to application.
If by justice you mean OJ Simpson (whose verdict was cheered) or even after a long trial and the verdict is given and objection (and even rioting) follows - that isn't the outcome.
Everyone isn't innocent but too often that is how it is presented.

Apple loves all skin colors -- as long as the darker shades don't get too far up in the hierarchy. In that regard, they are just like Microsoft: The higher you go, the whiter it gets.
The irony, indeed.
So in order to meet your requirements a racial quota needs to be reached. What a ridiculous post.
Requirements? What are you smoking?
I'm telling you how the two companies are staffed, having worked for both.
There's always that possibility but looks around at your co-workers. Are they always the best fit for their jobs? They got their jobs through cronyism, nepotism and opportunities afforded to their family or community that others didn't have. It's not much different than going to a typical Asian restaurant. Just because it's become what we expect to see doesn't make it right or fair for everyone.
Tough couple of weeks for trump voters. First the election was certified, and now this.
Thoughts and prayers.

So all the more reason for said projects. I’ll discard any conspiracy theories that the racial mix changes deliberately in upper ranks as hog wash.
Whites are excluded. What is skin color exclusion called?
So would you say cheerleaders for “equality” should be removed from responsibility for the BLM and Antifa riots all summer? Or should they be held just as responsible like you are suggesting the “freedom” cheerleaders be?
You’re right. It has nothing to do with their skin color though.
Do you mean by Microsoft having an Indian American as a CEO cause I’m confused? Apple doesn’t have anyone like that in their executive staff.
Lol, the responses in this thread are ridiculous. Ppl are really still having a debate about whether marginalized groups deserve resources and community investment to compensate for historical socioeconomic disenfranchisement. It’s both hilarious and infuriating to see the heated debate that’s always caused by the notion of dedicating resources towards racial justice.
its funny how race should never be a part of the discussion when it comes to redistributing resources... but it was ALWAYS part of the discussion when it came to stripping nonwhite people of generational wealth and class mobility.
but then again, do people really go to Macrumors for sociological range? 🤣
