>Silicon Valley's disdain for its mostly white, mostly male tech workforce has reached absurd new heights.

>The New York Post is reporting that, after just six months on the job, Apple Diversity Chief Denise Young Smith, who was named vice president of diversity and inclusion in May, has resigned her post after making a “controversial” comment last month during a summit in Bogota, Colombia.

>What was Young’s crime? She insinuated that “diversity” can still exist among a group of white men because of their different life experiences.

>“There can be 12 white, blue-eyed, blond men in a room and they’re going to be diverse too because they’re going to bring a different life experience and life perspective to the conversation,” the inaugural diversity chief said.

>“Diversity is the human experience,” she said, according to Quartz. “I get a little bit frustrated when diversity or the term diversity is tagged to the people of color, or the women, or the LGBT."

>That’s right: Young, who is – for the record – a black woman, has been forced out of Apple because her views on diversity were too inclusive.
