And now: you've likely heard of @AskAManager; in this thread ask an admittedly-terrible employee what to do for an "alternate" take on workplace questions.
(DMs are open if you’d prefer not to implicate yourself.)
"Only white guys interview for an open role."
Ask the folks at your company who aren't over-represented what they think of the job description and tweak accordingly.
If everyone at the company is a white guy, you have your answer already.

The correct answer here is of course to fill out the list with names of your rivals or people you just generally dislike. Skip the meeting, bill for the time spent watching Netflix instead.

My solution is to stop stalking my staff on social media, personally. 1:1s should surface any actual issues; assume anything else is largely performance art. Either you're right, or you're such a clueless manager that there's no saving you. 
Established employment law has found that cats can't actually manage staff, so don't hesitate to steal your boss's parking space as retribution.

Wear a wire. Store a copy of the recording in a safe place, then approach your manager and demand to be cut in, or else you're going to rat.
Watch out for the inevitable double-cross!

Scam. This is almost certainly a scam. Money flows one way--from the company to you. It's not a "great" position, it's an exploitative position. A laptop costs basically *DICK* to a company compared to an employee. "Six pay cycles" is just nuts.

Your colleague is clearly hard at work growing the business. Apologize for your brash initial reaction and buy them an expensive present.

"what do you do if you work for a team that mostly doesn't give a shit, and for a manager who's ok with that?"
Well, I'd start by giving a lot less of a shit about the job myself...

Email the company in a frothing rage, citing the rejection. They'll think it's your coworker.
Then, apply yourself as a dramatic counterexample to that dumpsterfire.

It's basically a requirement.
Similarly, if vendors call you about billing issues for previous employers, your response should be along the lines of "fuck you, we're not paying. What're you gonna do, turn us off?"

I’d start by not painting a target on my back. Culture changes from the top down; driving transformations from the ground up is indistinguishable from being a squeaky wheel that gets fired.

I don't see as why you'd go to that much trouble.

Your boss has a perfectly serviceable laptop bag / lunchbox / coffee cup, don't they?
Trick someone else into painting the fence, and if asked to repeat the process blame "dependency problems" for the next eighteen months.

If I’m me, I’m taking bets on how long it will take @awscloud to realize that my post yesterday wasn’t just representing things their customers are saying, but also their staff.
