Political Weirdos

I already did, and more than once. Is reading really that hard for all of you??? Or are you all just terrified of being wrong?

Here, lets try coming at it from a different angle. Lets see if the special crayon approach works.

lets say, Im the owner of an airline, and you are whatever the opposite of Charlie Kirk looks like. I, only hire white male pilots. You, while talking about companies that hire based on skin colour say one of the following:

“Only white male pilots? Great, because obviously flying a multi-ton metal tube at 500 mph depends entirely on your skin colour and not, you know, skill or training.”

“Ah yes, forget flight hours and certifications, clearly the secret to a safe landing is having a penis and a specific melanin level.”

“Only white men? Brilliant strategy! Because turbulence, engine failure, and bad weather are obviously solved by outdated stereotypes instead of competence.”

“Of course! Forget merit; the real measure of a pilot’s ability is apparently their genetics. Who needs experience when you have arbitrary conformity?”

“Yes, let’s hire based on race and gender. Nothing screams ‘expert aviator’ like throwing decades of proven training out the window for pure bias.”

Are you, mild mannered chiliedog, now... Super-racist? Or, have you just employed wild exaggeration and hyperbole to get your point across? Whether or not you agree with his point, is another conversation. But the point he was making, is not that black men were inferior to white men. It was that hiring based on race wasnt going to get you the very best pilots(but he wasnt just talking about pilots).

Lets try something else. The NBA is currently around 13% white American. And that only rises to 17.5% if you include international white players. No one gives a fuck about diversity in the NBA, do they? Why? Because we all know that its merit based. No one is hiring white dudes to make up the numbers. If white dudes are in there, its because they earned it. Just like the black dudes did. If, all of sudden, some team started hiring white players because "diversity", youd have something to say about it. Sure, they can all play the game. But are they the best? And if they arent, are you racist for not wanting them on your team? This isnt quite the same thing that Kirk was talking about, but you get the idea. Hiring based on skin colour is dumb. No matter which way you come at it. Its dumb. Black, white, and everything in between, doesnt matter. Only skill and experience matters. That was his point.

But again, whether you agree with him on that, is another conversation.
