Comedian Rob Schneider called out United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby in a recent X post, accusing the CEO of pushing diversity in his company at the expense of safety.
Simple. If you’re hiring based on diversity, you aren’t hiring based on merit. The two are incompatible. And I, for one, would rather fly an airline where merit decides the pilot, not race
I’m not even making an argument, let alone misrepresenting your position.
In fact, I’m trying to get you to clarify your position for me so I can better understand you.
So, again, are you saying that every woman and person of color based on diversity must not be qualified to do the job otherwise? Or are you saying something else?
If you’re making selections based on diversity, you’re fundamentally not focusing on hiring the best of the best. And for safety critical positions like pilots, I would much rather have the focus be 100% on quality.

Are there no women and people of color in the best of the best?
I mean, get what you’re trying to say, but you’re making unwarranted assumptions about the demographics of the cream of the crop. So, I’m trying to get you to either realize you’re doing that and retract basically everything you’ve said so far, or to keep exploring what you think the best look like and why DEI is antithetical to picking people those meritorious looking people.
The best is the best, regardless of whatever bs diversity qualities. You’ll get them without having to specifically look for shit like race and sex. Looking for those instead means you’re no longer looking for the best, you’re looking for whoever meets minimum standards and is also an acceptable race
If demographics don’t matter, then what exactly is wrong with preferring someone of an acceptable race in the best of the best? (You still haven’t said whether there are women and people of color in the best of the best or not…so let’s assume there are.)
Because the moment you’re preferring race, you’re fundamentally not preferring something else, and if you ask me, race is pretty much the absolute bottom of the list of things to judge people on.
He didn’t. What he said is the focus should only be on skill.
Schneider talks about similar topics in his dialogue. It’s not that he’s a “conservative”. The liberals have just want so far, crazy, he appears to be conservative.

That’s just a straw man

All races are acceptable. You do know race is just a social construct right?
Where did he say “every woman and person of color hired based on diversity must not be qualified to do the job otherwise”?
