>You're arguing in bad faith again. I agree with you UNTIL you enact DEI then you have to wonder if they got the job because of qualifications and competency or because of some racial quota...

I'm not arguing in bad faith. You do not need to worry about anything. Do your job and mind your business. Millions of white people get hired for dubious reasons but I'm sure you don't go around wondering if every white worker you see is competent. That is what is racist. It's especially silly because it does not mean a lack of competence, so you just look like an idiot hiding behind an asinine 'problem'.

With people like you, there's always the undercurrent that a black person must have been hired because of diversity and not a presence of skill. Why else would you be worrying about a random fucking pilot. Do you have any idea what it takes to be one ? He obviously didn't. Did he know the guy ? No. Did he know anything about the airline's work environment ? No. He just said it because 'oh it's a black person'.

>Yes, of course, you didn't come off gloating or gleeful at all.

You think that was me being gleeful ? Lol

>If you can't be free to have unpopular opinions or disagree, then you don't live in a free society.

You can have your opinions and I can call you a piece of shit for it. It's not mutually exclusive. Fuck ignorant 'opinions' that just spew hatred.

Because absolutely no one is hiring white workers solely on the basis of there skin color. There is no DEI category for more white males... They are simply there because they are qualified! You can't say the opposite is true... Go look at Asian discrimination in universities because they perform 'too well'... it's the same thing! It shouldn't based on racial quotas... it should be based on performance....

>You can have your opinions and I can call you a piece of shit for it. It's not mutually exclusive. Fuck ignorant 'opinions' that just spew hatred.

It's funny that you think I'm spewing hatred and don't have an iota of self-awareness. This is the narrow minded tunnel vision of the left--they hold the moral high ground and are simply arguing with subhhuman amoral psychophants... You've frame it all in your mind as good vs evil. Bravo. Continue tilting at windmills and made up boogie men.

What's funny is I'm not even a republican, I've never voted for a republican, and I have been a mostly lifelong democrat until the last election where I didn't bother voting because the left has become so pathetic and filled with people like you who I can't respect and don't want to be a part of in a group. I don't like the right, but I think the left has become even worse and outright lies to live in a fantasy world that is not reality. And I'm not alone--they lost 4 million voters since 2020 and in the same period the GOP gained 4.5 million voters... Take a step back and realize whatever side you're on, you're actively harming it and ensuring that your side will not have any political power for decades to come.
