also, they weren't inducted for that long, given how the u.s. opened the second front only in 1944. the death toll was in the 400k range, i believe. so yea)

Yeah. Meant to include that and forgot. Thanks for catching it.
Did you not read where I point out the system needs to be blind. That includes everyone.
Found the apologist. I don't like hypocrisy. Apple wasn't playing that game then. The NBA wasn't protesting everything except the people fired for criticizing the CCP. Be one thing. Don't lecture people about eating meat while you're on your 5th whopper of the day.
I’m not saying this is the case with the cause you mentioned, but whenever I see a qualifier for “justice”, it’s no longer about justice, but something else. Like “social justice” that gets thrown about by socialists like Castro, Pol Pot and Mao. It’s not about justice, but revenge.
Tim Cook: To fill the desk where Lisa Jackson was, before we left her on the roof? Ooops did I say that out loud y'alllllll?
I personally am trying to, but the majority of Chinese people that I've met think China is the best and Mao Zedong was great (I'm not kidding) and when I bring up the issue of what the Chinese are doing in Africa then they say it's ok and the white people have done the same thing in the past.
Also, anyone that has lived in China know how incredibly racist they are.
I bet he even won't send a message to his local Walmart where he buys whatever is cheaper. But hey I get it, the rocking chair made in China is $100, the one made in the US is $300.
How many smartphones or computers are manufactured in the U.S.? Could you post a list of options? Thanks in advance.
well hey, you said you're religious about it. it's really a shame when you let other's actions determine your faith.
You sound like you're running for office in this forum. Cast half of the forum population as indecent and dishonest in the hopes to further divide the entire forum.
Critical Race Theorists / anti-racists don’t believe in colorblindness. In fact, they reject MLK’s message and the civil rights movement because they don’t believe he went far enough. It’s an upside down world and I feel sorry for the students who were and are being indoctrinated with this worldview because they will live life believing that differences in skin color is more important than the far more profound shared traits that make us all human.
So you want Apple to stop manufacturing in China so that they don't go broke? I think you're confused.
Exactly. This is a major problem in the U.K (one of many, I might add) where you have
Hmm... So they're upset because they're unable to go straight into a career that some university representative (salesman) convinced them would be a reality? Very naive.
It's this inability to accept anything less than some pre-concieved notion about what their career would end up being that is wrong with the jobs market. Degrees have become, essentially, worthless in many industries simply because of how many people have them.
And despite this, there are other avenues out of school (apprenticeships, self-employment, straight into work) that are perfectly attainable, some even crying out for employees, yet Mr/Miss Student won't swallow their pride and deviate.
Often, hard work and perseverance trump qualifications when it comes to careers.
First of all you indicate your bias by using the term "critical race theory" in that context. That term is used today to by those that want to argue that America was never inherently racist and racism wasn't endemic nor systematic in this society.
It absolutely was. When the US military discriminated and was segregated it was not only accosted but enforced by the US. When it was legal to deny jobs at federal agencies just because a person was Black, it was systemic and endemic.
A race blind society now after 100 years of racial disparity when access was denied.
The same people talk about Black neighborhoods and businesses knowing full well that for 100 years "red lining" was the norm.
I don't need you to be color blind I need you to accept the differences of experience that people have had and recognize that people for generations were denied access.
You don't hold the participants in a race at the start line; then announce halfway through the race that they can start and are expected to do as well as those that weren't held back.
The whole "we need to be color blind" ignores the past disenfranchisement of groups of people. It ignores that people in the society still need a leg up.
And don't use Obama, athletes, etc as an example. Those are exceptions and not the norm.
A perfect example of this systemic and endemic racism is David Blackwell David Blackwell https://g.co/kgs/A9guL2 ; without argument one of the greatest math minds of the 20th century was denied tenure at Berkeley because somebody didn't want a Black man to attend social functions.
Please.

You do understand there is a difference between having a religion like devotion to an idea and region right?well hey, you said you're religious about it. it's really a shame when you let other's actions determine your faith.
Please name the arbitrator of what is bias please. Do they have like an email or something if we have questions?
Yawn....
A lot of people get very intimidated when the playing field is actually leveled.
I'm not one of them. I've always had to compete on merit. The white population in America not so much.
Ok PROVE this “hard work ethic” you speak of actually translate to racial equality and/financial equity for ALL.
youre heavily sounding like those whom want to continue this issue because it affects their own comfort zone or sense of self worth determined by their worth being above others.
hard work:
tone arm for the record player - designed by whom? No equity or equity equated in history there!
villianizing Serena Williams - just Google that and although she’s financially secure through hard work continually not treated as equal to other female tennis stars cause she looks different.
Oh Washington D.C. slave labourers got a damn commemorative plaque! There was no equality there for their hard work and still no equal payment in equity for their hard work https://www.aoc.gov/explore-capitol-campus/art/slave-labor-commemorative-marker
Hell New York City was literary BUILT by slaves until the industrial revolution - there are countless records of slave ships buried beneath streets discovered long before and more after 9-11!
that’s just a brief mention as a debate against your post.
so please do enlighten us with historical proof of racial equality, and equity in the USA present or past.
There’s no such thing as “racial equality and/financial equity for ALL.” Silly leftist myth.
I mean no offence but you do not seem to know what critical race theory is. And pointing out that there is racism is not the same as teaching fatalism. Indeed quite the opposite. Finally, teachers don't really have the time to learn about an academic approach taken to explore the extent of structural biases in the US legal system - something typically taught in law school. CRT has become a lightening rod for anybody who wants to sweep current and past US racism under the rug by not teaching kids about it.
Anyway, not really sure what this has to do with Apple's donation.
