[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8913907, member: 683408"] There is no "out of context". There is no context that could make this sentence acceptable: [I]“If I see a black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified.’”[/I] So Charlie assumes that a black pilot is not qualified because a system is in place to try to prevent discrimination. Why doesn't Charlie look at a white pilot and worrry? Why doesn't he look at an Asain pilot, and worry? Female? What is it about the pilot being black that caused him to worry? A piloit that got the job because they are qualified, not becasue they are white. They only "believe" it? You mean there's no proof that systemic racism and discrimination has existed in the workplace for longer than our ages combined and doubled? That's pretty amazing. I guess when people have even admitted to it, they weren't actually guilty of it? Anti-discrimnation rules, laws, company cultures, are racist? Tell me more. Those are two different thoughts altogether, and you are completely ignoring that while all are created equally, they are obviously not treated equally. How can the best man win, if the best man is not allowed to run the race? [/QUOTE]
