    Puhleeze, can we can the incessant yap, yap about skin color!?

    Can't we as Apple fans simply be happy for Bozoma (and Apple) that she's enjoying some success?
    Thought all the comments prior to yours said that.

    Sad that we still separate people by colour. She is a black (or brown skin-coloured) woman, but surely she is a person first. If I was successful in business I wouldn't want to be considered a successful white businessman. Anyway this most successful at this or that is a load of nonsense anyway.
    If you were (brown skin-colored) as you put it you would know that others instantly "separate you by color" at first sight. Celebrating people of color is extremely important for our society where bigotry still abounds. We celebrate athletes and promote them as role models to the young we should also promote highly successful women of color as role models too. If you do not identify as a minority then try to imagine how inspiring a story like this is for those that are. 
    The idea is noble it's the method that isn't. I'm reminded of The Hollywood Reporter women's actors routable recently where Isabelle Huppert was asked how she feel's being a female actress and she answered that she found the question offensive and others at the table agreed. There are certain great gay directors, but I don't view them as 'gay directors'. I don't label them as such. I think it's unhelpful. Their sexuality isn't a choice for them and is isn't my business. I simply view them as directors. That Bozoma is black is a fact (well black is a label, but we'll go with it; her skin isn't technically 'black'), but to me celebrating her success by that fact is unhelpful. Just as I don't view Angela Ahrendts by her gender, I view her as an inspiring leader and entrepreneur. The other labels are fake to me and they don't get to the heart of who the person is.

    Perhaps I'm ahead of my time and yearn for a day when our species is evolved enough to see past these differences.
    Melonin - some have more and some have less.  We are all the same color with variances in shade.  Time to move on from external differences as you state.
