Merit is the only means by which others should be judged, their achievements a testament to their productivity and usefulness. And if that means hiring less minorities and excluding lesser people who aren’t a good cultural fit because of “the system” or whatever, then so be it.

Are you really trying to imply minority groups have less merit? Do you want your surgeon to be merit based or diversity based? Do you want your pilots to be blind because they are underrepresented in airline pilots?

That's literally the implication of dismantling DEI initiatives. Because no DEI program sacrificed merit for diversity. A diverse candidate qualifies on merit first then other characteristics.

Do you want your surgeon to be merit based or diversity based? Do you want your pilots to be blind because they are underrepresented in airline pilots?

...you know what? Yeah, why not? What's the difference began a good minority surgeon and a good majority surgeon? It's not like stitches are going to stitch themselves. And better someone who won't dismiss my pain because of my skin color than someone who will.

And if there are technologies that allow blind pilots to perform at the level of seeing pilots, then...actually I hate flying altogether so I'll sit this one out.
