This week is the flying school of United Airlines, United Aviate Academy, announced that he is now accepting applications and that he plans to train 5,000 new pilots over the next decade and that 50 percent of the pilots will be women and people of color. To reasonable people, it may seem like United wants to diversify the aviation industry and provide more opportunities for underserved communities, but for conservative experts like Tucker Carlson and UK Tucker Carlson, Piers Morgan, it’s a plot that will lead to planes falling from the sky. during an affirmative action rapture, because apparently only white men were qualified to be pilots.
Of Newsweek:
On Wednesday’s delivery of Tucker Carlson Tonight, Carlson said: “Security is no longer the most important aspect of the airline, it is identity politics.”
‘The way people look is totally irrelevant. How you do this is all you need to pay attention to. Once you forget that, planes tend to crash …. If you hire based on irrelevant criteria, people will eventually be killed, and they will, “he said.” We really have to fight for the color-blind meritocracy. I mean, our lives depend on meritocracy. ”
Carlson calls United’s initiative ‘a combination of a hyper-aggressive corporate HR division and a left-wing political action committee.
Let’s look; what is the most sophisticated way I can say this?
Tucker Carlson is a racist and misogynistic idiot.
‘Color-blind meritocracy’ has literally never existed in America. But mediocre white men will never acknowledge the fact that mediocre white men possess by far the most power in the Western world, and that is why they dominate the workforce in almost every industry – not because they happen to be more capable than women. and people of color.
G / O Media can get a commission
The training to learn to fly an airplane is not going to change because a black person or woman takes it, and there is no reason to think that non-white men will get a license to fly airplanes without the knowledge and show skill that it requires. complete said training. But Carlson – the man who do not think women belong in the army, as if the thousands of women serving in the armed forces would probably not hit his mother’s fucking ass – do not believe it because he’s a racist and misogynistic idiot.
More from Newsweek:
In a statement released on Twitter, United announced: ‘All the highly qualified candidates we accept into the academy, regardless of race or gender, will meet the standards we have set for admission.’
Carlson, however, said the company was lying.
“We know they’re lying and you know it too,” he said, “because in the airline industry there is only one standard that matters, and that’s not race, and that’s not gender. This is competence. ”
Carlson is not the only fragile white man who ignores the fact that a historical lack of diversity initiatives in the corporate world is the only reason why white men think they are the face of meritocracy. Morgan – the man who rushed from a set like a little bitch baby after being called out for using his platform to give off a lot of energy to Meghan Markle –wrote a complete op-piece in response to the United announcement, titled: “What’s next for business warriors – blind pilots?”
First of all: one day I will be writing a piece on how the right-wing narrative that diversity is part of a progressive “awake” tendency is basically that they acknowledge that conservatism is synonymous with whiteness. Let’s just focus on the fact that Morgan has implied that allowing non-white men to fly airplanes, like letting a blind person fly.
Morgan wrote that ‘I certainly do not care about the sex or skin color of a pilot’, as far as his concern about flying is concerned, because he clearly does not realize that THIS SHIT IS NOT ABOUT YOUR WHITE MAN – it’s about a opportunity for women and coloreds to find work in a white male-dominated field.
Morgan even went so far as to falsify a false double standard and ask why no one wants to diversify the NBA by men through black men. (Yep, the British Bill O’Reilly is really there.)
The truth is that Carlson, Morgan, and all the other conservative snowflakes holding their white pearls to the mere mention of the word “diversity” are just as fragile as they are racist and sexist.
The world is changing around them, arguing that the corporate world reflects the diversity of the population, and now everything that comes out of their mouths is a variation of, “Wouldn’t someone please think of the white men?”
This is pathetic, but what else can you expect from people who do not seem to understand that diversity and meritocracy are not mutually exclusive?
