Noone’s being discriminated against in this program. This programme is specifically designed to assist people who have hit specific barriers due to their race or gender.
I’m sure if you’re being laughed out of VC meetings for being a white man, you can apply and Apple will accept you. But I doubt the’ll have any resources or advice for you given how improbable that scenario is.
- prepend 3y ago> Noone’s being discriminated against in this program Objectively, people are being discriminated against as the program only allows some races and genders. That’s textbook discrimination. I think what your meaning is that the discrimination is intended positively to increase representation as opposed to other discrimination that is intended negatively due to hatred or exploitation.
- lijok 3y agoMaybe my understanding of the definition of “discrimination” is incorrect then. I understood the definition to be “unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people”
- prepend 3y agoPrejudicial means “ harmful to someone or something; detrimental” and this is harmful to individuals discriminated against. I think many, but not all, would find it is unjust as well.
- lijok 3y agoCould you explain how this programme is harmful to those Apple decided are ineligible to join?
