I support the goal of diversity, it makes for a stronger company and imbues the company with a greater variety of viewpoints. I do not support quotas, which is arguably what Jackson's group pushes.
Sometimes achieving the goal of diversity requires quotas.
And when you're dealing with a creative company like Apple, the best qualified person for a job may well be a candidate who isn't necessarily the one with the best test score.

No. Wrong. Bad.

No one said anything about test scores. We have always said “the best person for the job”. If that means all white people, it means all white people. If you want to pretend that’s racist, that’s your problem. Somehow, magically, all black people isn’t racist.

1. No quotas
2. That's what interviews are for. And if it's design, that's what portfolios are for.
What are these "diversity" numbers supposed to show? Should Apple have an even break-down of all minority groups represented in their total workforce #s, as well as ethnicities, ages, sexes, reglious backgrounds, etc to prove that they support "diversity"?
It could stand as evidence for board representation. If their workforce is 20% women, they don't need 50% of the board to be women.
Whatever way the numbers turn out, I think they should consider Salma Hayek for the board:
Female and Mexican, that's two groups in one. I'm sure she's good with computers and things to qualify for the board.
At least one of her qualities stands out, as far as I can see.

Yeah, she's done more to aid internet adoption than Al Gore. Years ago people would ask, 'where can I get more pictures of Salma Hayek?' and the answer came 'on the internet of course' and look how it took off.

Well, you know, as long as you have a well reasoned argument.....
You first. Nothing you said is reflective of anything intelligent or real.

Need those quotas to feed parking meters.

Check your eyes; I see two lovely qualities.

I was bundling them together - her 'personality', if you will. ????
