Some US folks here suggest that its some sort of PR smear campaign against boeing... how far from reality one must be to view all those recent news in such way.

Maybe they won't own it up again and blame it in some vaguely racist way on those incompetent african crews? Maybe they've learned. I am not holding my breath though

It’s not racist to point out that most of Africa is much less rich/developed than the West and therefore has worse safety standards in many areas including aviation.

Actually you should investigate first and then be racist, because the MAX deaths weren't the fault of any local safety standard...

I am not clear what you mean, there was 1 crash that was ignored and blamed on pilots because they were from a poor country. A second crash and many other incidents had to happen before other countries then USA took action. Later USA had no choice then follow up and ground the plane.

If the first crash would ahve happen in USA may be it would have saved more lives. It makes you wonder if Boeing intentionally sabotage the investigations.
