Replying to @conor64 @JohnHMcWhorter
I mean, I too, find this cringe! But also: is it...bad to start off acknowleding the people that used to occupy the land? Does it hurt anyone to do that?

I find it extra offensive that a company with ~$140 billion cash-on-hand that it doesn’t know what to do with doesn’t match this with something concrete. Native Americans are poorest communities. It doesn’t even occur to them to attach, say, a billion to this “acknowledgment”.

For some, social justice is about acts, but for others, faith alone is sufficient.

Yes I think acts are far more important (though the describing oneself for visually impaired folks is an act!)

I would like a poll among visually impaired people on the importance of, say, billion dollars for adaptive software versus knowing the CEO’s t-shirt is blue? Does anyone care or think about that in isolation? Again it’s offensive because there are no human beings in this picture.
