Additional thoughts —

In Malcolm Gladwell’s book “Outliers” he tells the story of a jetliner that crashed into a mountain. IIRC it was a Korean flight crew. The co-pilot pointed out the low altitude and the danger. The senior pilot didn’t want to hear it. As Gladwell explains, Korea is a hierarchical society. Co-pilots don’t tell pilots what to do. So the co-pilot shut up and they crashed into a mountain. This (thank goodness) led to a cultural change in some countries at least in terms of pilot training (ex. “Listen to your crew”)

DEI has made the US one of those hierarchical societies. Men don’t correct women. Whites don’t correct blacks. Normal people don’t correct homosexuals. There is a hierarchical order, and you need to know your place before you speak to your betters.

The flight instructor in the helicopter should have taken the controls from the DEI woman. But he knew his place and just let her crash two planes.

I like your explanation, it makes perfect sense.

Even if everyone in the chopper had been a white male, it still would have been a Warrant telling a Commissioned what to do.

"But he knew his place"
Under the DEI shadow, 'you' are ordered to comply with girl power / "minorities" power / any "ethnicity" except white (genetically "systemic" <-- including inability to know "your racism!") . . . power.
