Apple's Denise Young Smith to leave Inclusion & Diversity post by end of 2017
I'm exactly the type of person she was talking about: white, blue eyed, and blonde. When I am hired, there is nothing truly known about ME AS A PERSON and AS AN INDIVIDUAL. It is a shame she stepped down because Denise was one of a very few who were getting back to what Martin Luther King Jr taught. Judge people "BY THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER". Here's my white priviledge: my grand father came to the US from Scotland to work in the garment mills in New England, my father grew up dirt poor in the depression, the door to their shack was cardboard, my dad walked 6 miles to school, he fought in the Korean War, went to university as part of the GI Bill, became a computer systems engineer, and now I am a doctor, first in our family. We didn't have much privilege, and our background is fairly diverse. This reverse racism is going to destroy our country; I hope the next Denise Young Smith doesn't cower when she speaks truth to power. Now Apple is the Big Brother that they portrayed in their famous 1984 commercial. What a tremendous shame, and the leadership at Apple is shamefull.
