#2 Considering the problems they are having w/Foxcon et. al., I think P2K has it best. I have no sympathy.

#4 who'd be the best fit

Notice they don't say most capable or hardest worker or anything else. Just some vague quality that implies group identity.

#6 #1 P2K is exactly right. I did supervise a department in India for several years and was quite impressed with their work ethic and intelligence. AND they worked for less than 30% of the cost in the USA. So develop your skills, Apple workers. You have to be at least 3x as valuable as an Indian employee to justify your existence to the Finance staff.

#8 Why is a younger work force a problem? Whiter and male-dominated is obviously awful, but younger?

#9 Why is a younger work force a problem?
