That's the problem with your entitlement mentality - executives are not "picked" - they are chosen for their qualifications.

Just an FYI (not necessarily a reply to you), until more women and minorities major in comp sci and engineering, the candidate pool is already out of whack. It's the hiring pool that is mostly reflected in engineering workplace demographics. We can weed out the a*hole bigots, but when you only have two female resumes to 10 males, you always get the disproportionate numbers.
I have been amazed at how few female resumes I get.
Are you kidding? I live in your cherished New York City and have experienced the most insidious, rampant, scathing hatred directed against me for being White here - more than I ever experienced growing up in a ghetto near Oakland, California. There is infinitely more racist hatred directed at White people than the other way around, regardless of what opinion you might have about it.

Well Rogifan is smart, but maybe he might consider taking a true stance on something. He reminds me of that pundit guy on YouTube -- the Canadian one with a British accent -- can't remember his name.

That's a political definition, not an ethnographic one.
He's hiding it just as much as Larry Page is hiding his heterosexuality. What's the point of a CEO announcing sexual preferences? What I really want to know is much more important: Does he prefer cats or dogs?
Welcome to the world of the White male. Just be glad you didn't grow up in California (or even worse, Berkeley, like me).
Probably somewhere no younger than 99.9% give or take 100-200% or so, gotta have some slight margin of error in there.
Wrong. You seem to have ignored the developments in the government over the past several decades. Anyone who uses the term "racist" is usually the racist.
Don't be silly. There is absolutely no way Apple would hire anyone with curly red hair.
That's a nice viewpoint in an ideal world and one that can only ever take place if you never physically see the candidates before employing them.
Once an employer see's the person, then from that moment onward they will be swayed by appearance.
That could be positively or negatively based on their own viewpoints.
I trust you are mature enough to accept this will always be the case once you are SEEN.
Agreed. I am 5'11". According to scientific research, this gives me a disadvantage when competing with people over 6" for jobs. I demand quotas for short people!!

"weed out the a*hole bigots" --- I love it! You liberals are worse than Nazis!

thank you!

not based on diversity numbers alone.
I agree on both fronts here. I would be regarded as the minority in my work place, however if you skew the opportunity based on diversity numbers you are setting up your work environment to fail. This is a riddiculous situation to even consider.
I work harder, harder than most to be considered even though this is not fair in itself. It has made me an asset to my work place and the people I work for and with because I choose not to be a victim to it.
My mindset is, sure you want to make it difficult, then I'm getting make in phenomenally difficult for you to not hire me and considerably more difficult to not let me go once I have my foot in the door and proven myself tenfold.
About twenty years ago no matter how hard I worked, I did experience discrimination in the work place. Things have changed since then and discrimination is not to the extent it used to be. I see people of my culture and afro-caribean community who demonstrate themselves to be incredibly capable and exceptionally professional.

I think it'll take some time before the executive level will have a desired level of women. People who are 40-60 with the level of experience needed to be valuable to a company are mostly all male. This is simply the result of the time period people were brought up in. I'm all for women having more leadership, but there's just so few to choose from. The vast majority of women in that age group were funneled into traditional women roles.
What is he hiding? Did you ever meet the guy? It's his private life. Private. In the end, it's nobody's ********** business. Tell me, of Apple's executives, which ones do you know to be married, which ones do you know are not married, which ones don't you know; and of the ones married which ones are married to a male or a female person? And what of your business is it?
Yes, it's called discrimination, and it is akin to discernment.

This should also apply to people in Boston and some Southerners.
Now who's being racist?
