We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere.

"I cannot tell you how many @UnitedAirlines employees have personally thanked me for my valid criticism of your careless and life-threatening leadership," Schneider wrote…
And then everybody clapped.

Help me out here: how is the crusade against diversity not racism and misogyny?
I will no longer allow my family to fly on your airline as you have clearly placed ‘diversity’ of pilot hiring above safety of passengers and crew."
The obvious implication is that diversity hires somehow negatively impact safety relative to non-diversity hires. Generally, in this exclusionary crusade, diversity is responsible for things going wrong.
And who is diversity supposed to help?
The CEO added, "One of the things we do is, for every job, when we do an interview, we require women and people of color to be involved in the interview process, bringing people in early in their careers as well and giving them those opportunities, uh, and creating a stronger bench."
So, without a shred of evidence, Schneider and the rest of the anti-DEI zealots decry the hiring of women and people of color as degrading the performance of everything from academia to airplane safety. It subtly asserts that the value of such people cannot rise to the level of...alternatives, whoever they may be (i.e., not women and people of color; who else is left??).
"Racism a form of prejudice that assumes that the members of racial categories have distinctive characteristics and that these differences result in some racial groups being inferior to others."
Misogyny is hatred or prejudice against women.
The subtle assertion conforms to the definitions of racism and misogyny because there is no evidence to support it, but the idea is believed wholeheartedly on faith or personal feelings. Whatever the unsubstantiated reason a person can believe that DEI as a practice is so detrimental must be racism and misogyny. It certainly not a reasoned position.
So where am I wrong? How is Rob Schneider not kinda racist and misogynistic?

I don't fly United because Southwest has cheaper fares. I'm not privileged enough like Rob to consider diversity and safety for my choice of an airline
I don’t fly south west as they have a horrible safety record. United is carrier of choice but I may be switching to American
Why does this flake make news still?. Oh, fox.
