I gave you a simple definition but you intentionally ignored it.

I get that, but to me it’s still strange. Jesus is a central figure in a major Abrahamic religion, yet Jews barely even think about him. Christians and Muslims usually know at least the basics of Jewish culture and scripture, but it feels like the awareness doesn’t go both ways.
“Judeo-Christian” is mostly a political term used. Jews themselves don’t see Christianity as part of their tradition or culture at all.

If you claim that it’s racist to wonder if a corporation anxious to avoid costly discrimination lawsuits is cutting corners in hiring and thereby endangering lives then there’s clearly more to your definition of racism than “discrimination on the basis of race”.

Nope I made no such claim. And you completely dodged the part where you use the pilot’s skin color as the main determinant to make that assertion. That is racism and matches the definition I provided.
There are people and officials, police, etc., who believe where one was born is what their race is. A prime example being an English person being ‘racist’ to a French person. Which is nothing to do with race.
Or someone being ‘racist’ towards a Muslim, which would suggest a Muslim would be bi-racial. That would make Christians and atheists bi-racial too. In fact tri-racial if you take the country and actual race into account. And if you have two or more passports…
It is ridiculous; designed to pit groups of people against others, which benefits the elites as always.
I think you might be confusing ethnicity with race.

I am not. I do not believe one can be racist unless the other person or people are another RACE.
What I wrote previously is the mindset in the UK and other places.
Caucasians against Caucasians - same race.
This clown was not racist, as a religious group is not a race. The authorities and media and brainwashed populace saw and see otherwise.
Hmmm, I’m actually not sure about that. I will defer
Do you believe it’s racist to be concerned that a corporation anxious to avoid lawsuits is cutting corners when hiring minorities for important roles like airplane pilot?
That’s not how it works and you know it.
Anecdotal: a good friend of mine in the US wanted to be a doctor. Their MCAT score however, did not reach the required level to be considered eligible for med school application. However, my friend came from what was considered an underrepresented background, so due to the holistic nature of the vetting process, they let them in.
My friend ended up washing out of med school near the end - all in all pretty traumatic for them.
My point in this story is - for many jobs that involve the safety of society being in your hands, while DEI initiatives might be present to reduce the height of the barrier of entry, that is about where the advantage ends. Think of it as an initial helping hand that attempts to even the playing field at the beginning.
This is where people get confused though: if the candidate cannot pass further - more difficult - testing further in the training process, they wash out like everyone else. Plain and simple.
What Kirk said about black airline pilots is stupidly ignorant at best - and one doesn’t even have to look at this through a moral lens to see that.
From a monetary risk angle, hiring companies don’t want lawsuits on their hands for not effectively vetting a candidate if said candidate does something disasterous to customer(s) due to their ineptitude. Huge financial incentive for every candidate in critical positions in healthcare and aviation to be properly vetted before being turned loose on society. Think about it.
The world isn’t candyland-simple like populist talking heads want you to believe.
And I hate to interrupt any Kirklejerk here, but Kirk was a populist talking head.
Posthumously evidenced too, by all the Kirk merch continuing to be hawked and his funeral to be held in a stadium soon.
One would have to be blind to not see the five stages of grift being practiced alongside the five stages of grief at this point.
It’s not about whether corporations cut corners to save money. It’s about whether it’s racist to be concerned that it might be happening.
