How should it look like according to you to be good?
Oscillating near the racial distribution of the population should be good enough.

But no improvement in over 3 years. Not good enough. I look forward to their 2020 numbers. Do better Apple.
Compared to who?
Don't start that, Apple's data from 2016 to 2019 overall, Blacks in Apple has been stuck at 9% overall for 3 years.
Leadership positions stuck at 3%.
Tech positions went down to 6%.
The only positions that have reached double digits are Retail and Non-tech, not even retail leadership.
I will say it again, not good enough Apple.

> Its aim was to restrict the number of Jews to 6 percent, which was their proportion in Hungary at that time; the rate of Jewish students was approximately 15% in the 1910s. In 1928 – also because of the pressure of liberal capital and League of Nations – the act was modified and the passage of the ethnicity quota had been eliminated. [1]
Until recently, this act was considered a racist by the liberal and left-leaning thinkers, now it is considered a progressive one by the very same.
I understand that Apple is a brand first and foremost, so it's no surprise that they're going to release token PR efforts and publicize their tax shelter non-profits. I also understand that activists, if they actually knew of the severity of working conditions in the Foxconn factories in Shenzen or the child slaves working in illegal cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to power their smartphones and…
> Alternate Facts and Fake News began in 2002 with the lies of WMDs in Iraq.
This stuff definitely isn't new though. Those terms are nothing more than euphemisms for lies and propaganda, and the Second Iraq War definitely isn't the first time America dabbled in those things. For instance consider this incident in the runup to the First Iraq War: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony And the Vietnam War started after the so called "Gulf of Tonkin incident", a pair of attacks on the US Navy in the span of two days... except Robert McNamara admitted decades later that the second attack never actually happened. Going back much further than that, the Spanish American War was the result of a strong propaganda campaign waged by America's yellow press; and the USS Maine explosion was almost certainly not enemy action (there were people in the Navy pointing that out from the start.) With respects to the First World War, there is probably something to be said about exactly what the RMS Lusitania was actually carrying...

You seem to be manufacturing outrage against Apple based on nothing at all.
Did you actually read what Tim Cook said?
“We can do better.“
So it seems like you are in agreement with him that they can improve. Is there someone who you think is doing better, who Apple could learn from? Do you have any suggestions as to what has been shown to work?
Am I the only one who's tired of these statements from corporations? I guess they're a relatively positive thing, but they feel so hollow. I got one from DoorDash yesterday, and it's tough not to roll my eyes at a company that has worked so hard to screw their drivers, many of whom are minorities, talk about how a food delivery service is fighting racism.
It's all empty gestures to me. Just like how VCs are now starting to invest in minorities. Spare me your fake sympathy.

Anyone can say “We can do better.“, it's just another empty response.
You know what they should do. Show me some improvements in the diversity numbers, then we can talk.
