LOL, first post a real winner. Troll much?

Though I can't help myself to engage, like others have said the argument is weak sauce when 90% of those getting hired are still white dudes. Split hairs how you will, weak men will always blame the 'other' guy (or gal) for their own short comings.

Meanwhile I have fellow pilots with 5000+ hours applying and what they all get??? crickets....
finally, someone with sense

once again, this isn't about me. it's about the rampant discrimination i observe against white men everyday.
