What does Cuban have to do with it? There were a lot of white dudes and everyone else in there too. They probably grabbed him for a quick shoot.
i was thinking that because he's the executive they picked for the video. Probably don't think of a white european male like Jony Ive as very diverse. Though I would argue that a shaved head is diverse.

Being that he's Cuban he likely is a male of white European descent. Hispanic is not a race. Don't get why everyone makes this mistake. Yes, there was and is some interracial pairing but for the most part, Cubans are mostly people of Southern European descent.
I want Apple to make the revolutionary products that has made them famous. I couldn't give two shits about diversity.
Diversity, schmersity. It's true that diversity is the contemporary cool thing that you're supposed to celebrate and encourage if you want to be politically correct and feeble-minded. It's still a pile of wank.
There is nothing good about diversity. If you want to own a winning team of basketball players of black people, knock yourself out. If you want to surround yourself with people like yourself, be my guest. If you want to immerse yourselves in other people's cultures and acquire lots of friends from around the earth, the world's your oyster.
But diversity has nothing to do with excellence, which is the only thing Apple should be interested in.
I put the word diversity on my resume to get more hits.
You have an amazing ability to tell who is most qualified based on their look. You should be hired by CEOs all over the world to pick out the best man for the job. Oh wait, I can do your job too. Let's just pick pick white guys to do all tech jobs. Idiot. It's all Asians and Indians nowadays. Don't you know anything. Am I being serious or am I being a racist like you? No one can tell because you're the joke.
Stick to guessing people's weight at your carny job.

Or her. Forgot we were discussing diversity.
Kind of missed the point there didn't you? Why do you care so much if whoever was a him or her? If it's not about the content of an argument, performance, job ethic, what is it about then? I guess it's about the way someone looks to you.
And banning me for an hour? That's how you handle those that disagree with your view? You can't dig yourself any deeper at this point.
So let's say Apple has some product designers, engineers and operations employees in a room or Apple's design studio discussing what they want to do with the next Mac Pro. And let's say this room had a mixture of white, black, Asian, male, female, straight, employees. Let's say one of the designers was a gay white male and he had one idea while a straight Asian engineer had a completely different idea. Do they have different ideas because one is Caucasian and gay and the other is Asian and straight?
I guess I'm trying to understand how skin color, gender and sexual orientation provide diversity of ideas/thought. I suppose you could say a female or Asian employee might be more gung-ho for a gold iPhone but wouldn't that be stereotyping? One would think people's opinions and ideas come from more than just their skin color, gender or sexual orientation.
It is not about some assumed 'need' for diversity, but the need for the RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB.
Besides, the big picture is employees AND contingent workers/outsourced talent, and a LOT of the later tend to be very diverse at most companies...
How does one find that right person for the job? The answer is not always on a piece of paper. Nobody thought Kurt Warner, or Tom Brady was the right person. All they needed was a opportunity to prove that they could do better than the seemingly more qualified.
As much as I love AppleInsider, the bigoted uniformity of most comments exposes how many of you ignore the disparities of the world.
I love the comments, because this my friend is what true diversity is! Diversity of opinions! This is no fake slogan, or some fascist liberal utopia, this is real diversity.
Of course to a group thinking liberal who marches in lockstep to whatever the liberal agenda for the day is, diversity means that tolerance and acceptance of others is only a one way street!

The creative process isn't always about a "defined" path. Sometimes an idea/concept that will not work sparks an idea or thought that leads to a different path or conclusion. Sometimes different life experiences can lead to a better solution. Look at american music it's a fusion of different cultures. It can be advantageous, to the creative process, to have a different point of view/perspective or to look at a problem with a different mindset or life experience.

I didn't like the video.
I'd rather see a video of Apple's products. I believe that Apple should stay out of political issues and not push liberal propaganda.
100% agree.

Diversity video...who gives a flying ****?

And you get your "diversity of fools" on AI.

Different countries,different cultures,different ideals combined together to create new technology

Just the sort of cretinous remark I would expect from someone who is at ease with his white guilt.
