    Are you sure about that? A quick Google search shows you are wrong

    A quick examination of your google research going back further than a decade would indicate aircraft have occassionally fallen out the sky but it was rarely if ever due to manufacturing defects until the last two decades when DEI and ESG became the driving forces.

    It's companies cutting corners that is the problem, not anything to do with DEI. All DEI initiatives do is choose the minority guy out of two equally able guys.

    You fell for the lie of the OP. Wow.
    IT was someone's opinion. And a wrong opinion.

    Thinking a mfg process or design flaw is due to some skin color. That's horrible logic.

    AA is not FOR Blacks. It's also applies to Jews(religion), Asians(minorty), and every other minority that AA covers.

    Only racists think AA is a black only policy.

    oh do tell me how Jews and Asians and whites get lowered standards at top universities. Latinos-perhaps. Jews and Asians? LOL they are actually required to have higher scores than the average white applicant

    Nonsense it picks the first available person of color regardless of qualifications. And He or she is gay or trans so much the better.
    Sorry no it specifically does not apply to asians except to preclude them same with Jews because both are considered to be over represented under DEI now if they are female an actual world wide majority out side of China they get a bonus

    If you don't understand AA, why bother commenting?

    AA doesn't specifically apply to any certain group.
    Well done. And I've never claimed it specifically applied to any group. So you answered something that was never in question.

    LOL. Well done.

    Yes. But workers must follow the procedures and not take short cuts or "Screw the manual. 25 foot pounds is enough. It's been a long day."
    Or "Equity": All bolts get 50 Foot pounds, no more, no less. No exceptions will be made for size or location due to the feelings of the smaller nuts."

    It is you sir who have no idea what you are talking about. For openers DEI and AA are not the same.

    The proof? you mean it isn't obvious? You really think those corner cutters with dollar signs in their eyes are actually going to spend any real time looking for the best and brightest black guy when a they don't really believe such a person exists or hire the first person of color with a pulse they see on the floor?

    Yes, it's why lefties so desperately want discrimination to make a triumphant return

    the main goal of the left is to balkanize America into warring special interest groups that are divided by race and gender (or gender confusion). David Broder predicted that over 30 years ago.

    and you don't see anything wrong with the assumptionthat since a mistake was made it must have been made by a minority.

    Apples and oranges. The idiots at the top would still choose a black doctor who finished at the bottom of his class over a over a white cum laude to head the department.

    In order for this particular problem to occur it took several people screwing the pooch. From who ever the guy programed the machine that drilled the hole to the programmer who programmed to the inspector who didn't catch it.

    For openers, who said differently.
    You offered up this nonresponse that had nothing to do with anyone's posts.

    AA was USA law.
    DEI is nothing more than individual or company policy.
