- questime 3y agoThis is hilarious, also basically why Chief Diversity Officer is such a degrading position. Like oh crap our executive team looks like this https://www.apple.com/leadership/ https://www.apple.com/leadership/ we need to hire a non-white person, oh but they aren't suitable for CFO etc. etc.

It could be just as effective between two friends from a Step dancing group in Brooklyn who also happened to go to a coding bootcamp together.
