Similar arguments have played out over initiatives at higher-education institutions and some companies in other industries, which aim to increase the presence of students or employees whose gender, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation is underrepresented. "United Airlines is now prioritizing race and gender over qualifications for hiring future pilots," wrote conservative author Brigitte Gabriel in a tweet shared Wednesday morning. "They are literally putting the lives of their customers at risk in the name of being woke." <cite>coh posted [p:952577241] in Is wokeism...

Trumble 04/07/21 5:24:03 PM #9:	brotrrwinner posted... Now that's just plain racist Nothing is racist about thinking that all people, minority or otherwise, actually need to be qualified to fly a plane in order to fly a plane. The problem isn't that they're hiring minorities, you're (most likely intentionally) misunderstanding what people are criticizing if you think that's the complaint. It's that they're prioritizing "this person is a minority" over "this person is qualified". --- [insert F word here] <cite>Trumble posted [p:952577501] in Is wokeism...
