      Peepin my dude, that is not what he said. He said that you can’t select for both. That doesn’t strictly mean that a qualified queer black woman doesn’t exist, it means that you can’t hire for diversity and for merit at the same time.

          as if the two were mutually exclusive

          Because they are. If you’re prioritizing one metric of judgement, you’re inherently putting at least some metrics below it. And unless you’re of the stance that there’s a big stack of 100% identical in every way other than diversity qualities, those people are all going to have different levels of actually relevant qualifications.

          If you’re making selections based on diversity, you’re fundamentally not focusing on hiring the best of the best. And for safety critical positions like pilots, I would much rather have the focus be 100% on quality.

              The best is the best, regardless of whatever bs diversity qualities. You’ll get them without having to specifically look for shit like race and sex. Looking for those instead means you’re no longer looking for the best, you’re looking for whoever meets minimum standards and is also an acceptable race

      Where did he say “every woman and person of color hired based on diversity must not be qualified to do the job otherwise”?

        He didn’t. What he said is the focus should only be on skill. Schneider talks about similar topics in his dialogue. It’s not that he’s a “conservative”. The liberals have just want so far, crazy, he appears to be conservative.
