Currently your company is known for a plane that pilots are sometimes unable to fly safely. How will a racial quota solve that problem? Focus on technical competence!

Someone in the Trump administration should remind employers that racial discrimination in hiring is illegal.

Just fire some white people and make it up with black people regardless of qualifications. The planes will magically fly off in a cloud of exuberance and joy.

Clearly racist. Hiring people based on their race.

No Whity’s need to apply.

If I were CEO I’d be more concerned that all my planes now have massive safety issues and sales are plummeting before worrying about diversity hires because I’m not even sure there’s 20% more black engineers out there.

In that case, I pledge a 100% increase in my travel on Airbus aircraft. :)

Can they find the number of black engineers they need to make up the number they’re thinking of?

Saying what others are probably thinking. No, I am not a racist.

Where are all these qualified folks gonna come for all of these millions of jobs coming their way?

Because at least from what I’ve seen in Brooklyn, unless swigging a 40 and smoking tremendous amounts of pot is the main requirement, they are gonna have trouble filling these positions.

It’s a lie that blacks can’t get jobs now. they are getting many.

So what’s left is those who don’t want to work.

That should help a company out a lot, hiring them.

Why don’t they instead just fire 30% of the white employees to teach them crackers a lesson?

Only professional affirmative-action bureaucrats and professional affirmative-action educrats should be allowed to decide who is hired and who is fired!

Time for a reverse racism lawsuit. Best/ most qualified people should always get these jobs, as long as they are US Citizens.

Here - I'll say it:

Boeing will handwave some black "engineers" and expect their colleagues to pick up their slack.

They will just add people to HR or create entire new departments for diversity or cultural sensitivity or whatever squidgy, useless thing they can dream up.
