so no, thatās a lie. He simply said that given the DEI requirements (airlines are looking for black pilots specifically, perhaps at the detriment to more qualified pilots) He then went on to say that obviously the more qualified pilot should get the job, but given the current climate, he was just more concerned because of what the airlines made a priority
Lol no thats a racist talking point. 1. Their have never been DEI requirements forcing Airlines to meet a quota or hire unqualified ppl 2. The interaction Kirk was referring to, was United CEO Scott Kirby saying he would like to bring more DEI efforts around flight school NOT hiring (very different) 3. Kirk took that, twisted and now ppl are running with a narrative that Black pilots somehow may not be qualified due to DEI hiring.
"Yeah, we know. You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously." - Charlie Kirk, 2023, in reference to Michelle Obama, Joy Reid, Ketanji Jackson, and other African Americans
Not going to bother acknowledging his comments on DEI because most conservatives donāt see a problem with his takes on that. He was so anti-immigration, however, that he vocally supported the great replacement theory by name last year on his show. You can still find the clip online.
The only reason you think that is because conservatives have been pushing this agenda to promote an overall goal of white supremacy. DEI does not lower merit standards in the slightest, that is just not what it does. Please for the love of god just google what it does and read about it. Like the actual policies not what Ben Shapiro or whatever brain rot you normally watch, read /the policies/
