Denise Young Smith, Apple’s Vice President of Inclusion and Diversity, this week released an internal letter to clarify and apologize for comments made at the Business Summit last week, reaffirming that Apple is committed to creating an inclusive and diverse work environment. . At a World Youth Leadership Summit held in Bogota, Colombia last week, Denise Young Smith attended a seminar on racial injustice. Quartz journalist Aamna Mohdin moderated the meeting and focused on the broad impact of workplace diversity. Denise Young Smith provides key insights into this issue from the insider perspective of the technology industry. In recent months, Apple, Google and other large Silicon Valley companies have been criticized by investors and activists because of their serious lack of diversity, especially in senior management and leadership positions. "Diversity is the human experience," she said. “I feel a little frustrated when the diversity is marked as colored people, women, or homosexuals.†This sentence is popular among the crowd, but Denise Young Smith was criticized for the next thing. Denise Young Smith said: "In a room there can be 12 blonde white men who will also become diverse because they will bring different life experiences and perspectives to the conversation." The media criticized this remark, and diversified advocates accused Denise Young Smith of opposing the struggle for equality in the workplace. As TechCrunch's website points out, this remark seems to indicate that diversified thinking is a form of proactive recruitment policy that seeks racial and gender diversity. The following is the content of the internal letter published by Denise Young Smith: colleagues, I have always been proud of Apple's work. This is largely because we are firmly committed to creating an inclusive culture. We are also committed to having the most diverse workforce, and our work in this area has never been as important as it is now. In fact, I have worked at Apple for two decades, and I am committed to cultivating and promoting opportunities for women, people of color, and people who have not been served. Last week, when I attended a summit in Bogotá, I made some comments and discussed many factors that contributed to diversity and inclusion. I regret what I once said. I understand why some people get angry. My comment does not represent my opinion of diversity, nor does it represent Apple’s view of diversity. For this reason, I'm sorry. More importantly, I want to assure you that Apple's views and our contribution to diversity have not changed. Understanding this diversity includes women, people of color, the LGBTQ population, and all under-represented ethnic minorities. This is the core of our work. We must create an environment that embraces all people. Our commitment to increasing racial and gender diversity at Apple is as strong as ever. I am proud of the progress we have made, but we still have a lot of work to do. I am constantly aware of the importance of talking about these issues and learning from each other.
