Saying this is a firing offense if you're the chief diversity officer at Apple

Denise Young Smith had had the position for six months. In October, she said the following at the One World Summit in Bogota, Colombia:

“There can be 12 white, blue-eyed, blond men in a room and they’re going to be diverse too because they’re going to bring a different life experience and life perspective to the conversation,” the inaugural diversity chief said.
“Diversity is the human experience,” she said, according to Quartz. “I get a little bit frustrated when diversity or the term diversity is tagged to the people of color, or the women, or the LGBT.”
That was it. Boom. She's gone.

It's the same mentality that will not tolerate the phrase "all lives matter."

Ideas don't have intrinsic merit, according to this mindset. It depends on the demographics of the person expressing them.

And the next puke-worthy development was that she sent out an email apologizing. No standing by her position. She has to live with her cowardice every day for the rest of her life now.

The jackbootery is everywhere.
