Because they are saying that's not what happened (in their opinion - it certain sounds like that's what happened from the summary)....
They clearly aren't saying "We accept we are racist, but we just don't want to pay" (even if its true or not). They are saying "we don't agree that the issue was caused by race, we would never be racist and are disappointed the ruling said we are ".
IBM's president knew the holocaust was occurring when IBM was building holocaust management systems and printing jew disposition punch cards. He was apparently happy about it.
To see that IBM still has racist management is approximately the least surprising thing ever.
It's much like how policing as we know it in the USA evolved from governmentally empowered slave catching posses, and now people are surprised that there's a lot of white supremacism in police forces. Well, no fucking shit. And by the way, did
That's a strong claim and you've provided zero evidence to support it.
People inside fucking Germany didn't know about the holocaust, it's a bit stupid expecting some bloke in America to be aware.
Not to mention of course that Auschwitz was built two years before the Wannsee Conference; in other words before German policy was mass murder.
Shit, your linked article at the Guardian explicitly mentions "a senior IBM representative from New York travelled to Berlin". So that would have been prior to 11th December
"That's a strong claim and you've provided zero evidence to support it."
Let us know when you learn to internet, noob. Google can give you more citations than you can eat, if you ain't skeered. The support is not at all hard to find if you actually want it.
If you search for it and genuinely can't find it, say so and I will demonstrate how a web search works. But this is not something hard to find. Every major.news outlet knows and has covered it.
IBM does condone. (Score:4, Insightful)
IBM does not condone retaliation, race discrimination, or any other form of discrimination. The company will consider all of its options on appeal.
If you don't condone racial discrimination, then why are you appealing it? Why are you disappointed in the ruling?

Ya, and simply whacking the CEO and other suits pay packages would easily pay for their bias in this case. IBM certainly cannot plead poverty.

Well, I made it this far by being able to read and understand what I'm reading.
What you're claiming: "ibm president knew holocaust was occurring"
What you've linked: Nothing to support that claim.
Don't piss on me and tell me it's fucking raining you lying shit. I asked for evidence and you've failed to provide it. Twice.
