This is such an absurd fucking argument for people to have.

BTW, Apple is based in Cupertino, which has 0.6% Black population, 63.1% Asian, and 29.3% White -- even if you take a huge surrounding area, it is about the same.

Shouldn't they hire to match the demographics?

How about the state demographics? They would need a lot more hispanics!

How about the world demographics? They would need a lot more Asians!

Why stop at matching gender and race?

Why not match the population of red-headed people that are qualified? Are they not normally discriminated against enough?

How about fat or old people? Plenty of them and those motherfuckers wake up discriminated against!

How about ugly people? I have been to Apple headquarters and can vouch they are low on ugly people compared to the general population. Are ugly people not discriminated against enough?

How about hire who is best qualified? That is a fucking idea! Almost like if you had a fiduciary duty to do what is best for your company, and hiring the best qualified employees is exactly that!
