I did not say get rid of all the women and blacks.
[...]
The failure to see that the promotion of
minorities and women into some key safety positions within
the FAA was a mistake.
Perhaps you can explain the difference between these remarks, and
how they are not bigotted?
If you identify or expose a minority in a safety job who is
unqualified does that automatically make you a bigot?
It does, if you think their lack of qualifications has anything to do with
their status as a minority.
Are we so blinded by political correctness that we can't
say "Hey, that Black Female is unqualified"? Is that now taboo?
No, it's just ignorant, and exposes the speaker as a bigot. For example,
would you say, "Hey, that White Male is unqualified"? Would you think that
the white male's incompetence is a result of his being a white male?
I understand that these concepts are difficult for some people to grasp,
but it really is not about being PC.
