I gaurantee you out of the people who can code or have cs degrees, blacks make up a much smaller percentage. You can't blame Apple for the deep societal issues we have that leads the average black person to be more likely to end up in prison than college

According to the numbers Dare sourced in replies in the thread, blacks have significantly higher CS college graduates per capita than whites/hispanics, and about on par with Asians. The number of blacks within just those who have CS college degrees is ~10%.
That number is misleading, because that data uses a "Computer sciences" category which likely lumps in "Information" degrees. The number I see in 2015 is ~2.5% (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12101868)
