Only time will tell, but my sense is that while most people will probably not give much thought to the issue, there will be far fewer people offended by diversity initiatives than appreciative of them.
We all live in our bubbles, but I think it’s possible you may be overestimating how many people see diversity & immediately assume standards must necessarily have been lowered to achieve it.
no…all I see are people making a big deal about the pigmentation of skin or how much progesterone is in your body. All totally ridiculous and all divisive. Let’s just focus on safety and it that “person” is a he/she black/white or whatever then so be it who cares!. Why the big focus on so called diversity. To me it’s just division. Why is it so hard to comprehend that people want the most competent pilot up there whatever they are. I don’t see color or sex and neither do most people I know. I just see if your a nasty person or not. That’s all…but hey it doesn’t fit the cool woke narrative that’s in fashion for the moment.
I see guys on here constantly bashing angry overweight white guys. I guess if that’s what your life’s worry is about then so be it. I think it’s sad….why can’t people just see through color sex and sexual identity? To keep us infighting perhaps?
