Also just not really appropriate for a global company.. Isn't their EU HQ in Ireland? They should know better than this

  Why not?

    One word: Londonderry.

      Can you elaborate? I'm interested in what you're saying, but after some quick Googling I still don't understand the significance of "Londonderry".

        Well, the European headquarters of Apple are in Ireland, and Derry is still suffering heavily from the Unionist-Loyalist conflict. Unemployment over twice the average in Northern Ireland, no side wants the other to get ahead, and no hope that anything will improve anytime soon. The Good Friday Agreement hasn't arrived in the town, over 20 years later.

    The concept of a singular “white” is an American invention which ignores the fact that intra-white oppression happens all over the world. In the UK Irish people were traditionally oppressed, now Eastern European immigrants are treated poorly. In Canada there’s an ongoing power struggle between white Anglo Canada (historically, now it’s multicultural) and white Québécois. Focusing on racism defined as anything that’s good for white people makes it sound like the real problem is inequality between races and not oppression and inequality by itself. It also completely disregards racism between groups of POC which is a much bigger global problem.
