What is most interesting is that many posters are just fine with apple's upper management being completely white, and mostly male: this is what needs explaining. Why is apple's top management white and male? Research shows that social reproduction is alive and active in the workplace, where people hire others like themselves. So, white males will prefer to hire white males. Common answers to the lack of diversity in the workplace includes nonsense such as minorities don't work as hard, they are not as smart, it' hard to hire them. These answers typically come from white males doing the hiring which, ironically enough, ensures a predominantly white workplace. As the comments show, a few self-hating minorities are just fine with a White workplace and cringe at any mention of diversity. For an enjoyable read on this topic, I suggest the following reading: Racism without Racist: Color-Blind Racism and the Persistence of Racial Inequality in the United States by Eduardo Bonilla-Sylva. It is a book that discusses how racial inequality is sustain by ideology, many of which emerge in these posts.
