Yes, I do think it is unjustified.

In your quote: "It involves restricting members of one group from opportunities or privileges that are available to members of another group."

Apple is restricting people who are not black or brown from this opportunity.

In what way does Apple giving 10MM to Harlem Capital restrict people who are not Black or Brown people from the opportunity to pitch their fund.

The first of their five pillars:

"We invest in founders from all backgrounds, genders and walks of life"

That’s great to hear, but in what sense would that be “investing in black and brown people” then?
