Brad Polumbo is a moderate/center youtuber that posted a video yesterday about Apple's new entrepreuner program and how it purposely only wants candidates that are not White or Asian. So because I'm Italian, not a female, and by their standards a "white" person, I'm not eligible.

Is this really what our country is coming to? That I'm being purposely excluded from a program like this because of the color of my skin?

They even mentioned that transgender females are allowed. So they are being selective about which members of the LGBT community are allowed as well.

I'm sorry but if this is the state of where DEI is going, this is messed up.

My family immigrated to America legally from Italy and lived with racism, abject poverty, and were dealt lots of slurs and horrible living conditions. We were not considered "white". We were considered European. My grandparents worked in factories and had little to no time to raise my mom and my aunts. They lived in roach infested apartments trying to save any money they could and then sent some of it back to Italy so that my family in Italy could survive.

I was born here in America. But make no mistake, my parents and grandparents were NOT considered white back in the early 60's and 70's and yet somehow today that's considered not eligible for the entrepreuner program.

Also, when people look at me, they assume I'm latino because of the color of my skin and my face. So just by looking at me, you can't even tell if I'm latino or italian.

I'm sorry but this DEI nonsense is horrible. People deserve to be celebrated for their merit and skills. Not by the color of their skin or what gender they identify with. If you have a good app, then great. But it should not matter what race, gender, sexual orientation you are.
