> 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.

Maybe 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”

  Prejudicial 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.

    Could you explain how this programme is harmful to those Apple decided are ineligible to join?

      They aren’t able to gain the benefits of the program. The same way 1960s Alabama was harmful to the people they refused to serve at the counter. This program has benefit. Some people can’t apply, thus the harm.
