Ah yes, that certainly is completely unrelated to management also trying to meet their DEI goals at the same time. Pure coincidence these two things happened at the same time.
A million things were happening at the same time in a company of that size and complexity. So yeah until you can prove a connection (which you haven't even attempted to do) the rational conclusion is coincidence. You're a rational person, right?
I obviously cannot prove a direct connection, that would require actual evidence like a work log or a video of the person doing it. Since I neither work there nor with the police I am clearly not in any position to obtain such evidence. If you're expecting such things from a forum discussion, you're at the wrong address. You're looking for the court room.
But absence of proof isn't proof of absence either, so your insistence that these things have nothing to do with each other is just as unproven as my conjecture.
Translation: "I can't prove anything so I'm gonna blame minorities for problems until someone provides real evidence (evidence which I will ignore and continue blaming minorities)"
You haven't provided any evidence that would disprove my reasoning, you are merely assuming that I would ignore it.
We're not required to provide evidence lol. You are the one making an assertion, burden of proof is on you.
If you're asserting that it can't POSSIBLY have been a DEI hire, I'd say that requires proof as well.
All you're saying is my evidence isn't good enough to convict someone based on it, which I already know and have admitted. This isn't a court of law, so speculation is certainly allowed. You don't have to believe me, but you're not going to change my mind either unless you can come up with a better theory.
You haven't made a compelling argument for anyone to believe you or to rationally justify your own belief.
There are literally thousands of articles being written about systemic problems at Boeing. Your "theory" consists of noticing this one person's race and saying DEI. You're literally the guy in the OP.
Your argument is an appeal to ignorance. Aka, a logical fallacy, Aka a shit argument.
How so?
I provided a reasonable, possible explanation with circumstantial evidence to support it. All you've done is call it racist, which is simply an appeal to emotion. If anything you're appealing to ignorance by suggesting that this line of inquiry does not merit any further investigation because if proven true, it would offend a lot of people. You're literally making the case that it's better to be ignorant than racist.
You did no such thing.
Ironically, your entire premise provides more circumstantial evidence for you being racist than any particular problem at Boeing.
Nobody is disputing this you fucking idiot. We're calling you a racist because you're blaming it on minorities. Holy fuck, you seriously cannot be this dense. It is impossible for someone to be this fucking stupid. I refuse to believe you're not a troll at this point. Blocked.
