Your original comment that someone has to “look like them” in order to be their role model is a _____ comment (insert unoffensive word of your choice that means “judging people by their skin color”). And if you believe that you can only look up to people who “look like you,” then how would you describe yourself....tolerant? Woke? Anti-______?
Maybe your trying to pin him down to hard to prove a point and not discuss to learn.
I think it's perfectly acceptable to think the Tuskegee Airmen inspired black youth. Perfectly acceptable to think that if United's goals are achieved it will inspire girls and black youth.
The discusion of how to achieve that goal, or if it can be achieved is separate from who will be inspired.
If you needed a job, would you be inspired to work for? Would it be Emirates if you saw or heard they hire at least 50% expats? What if you saw or heard only French nationals work for AirFrance? What if AirFrance reported they had 1% expats on property but have no stated goals of who to hire to avoid upsetting French nationals?
